The Heron’s Nest

forest cabin
the place no one knows
in me

Renée Owen
Sebastopol, California

half-asleep inside a caterpillar wind

Susan Yavaniski
Cohoes, New York

wide-eyed five-year-olds
a swallowtail unzips
its chrysalis

Jo Balistreri
Waukesha, Wisconsin

chasing butterflies I stop   to catch   my breath

Rick Jackofsky
Rocky Point, New York

children’s voices
the wind smooths a path
through the meadow
