September morning
again my breath rises
to an open sky

Marjorie Buettner

approaching gale
the beach grass sweeps circles
deeper in the dune

Cherie Hunter Day

after the hurricane
most of the moon
. . . gone

Elbert Pruitt

night of stars
the rhythm of my boat
across the swells

Alex Benedict

yellow moon—
the smell of woodsmoke
on the wind

Jennifer Jensen

that glittering point
in the distant evergreen
a dewdrop

Elizabeth St Jacques

hurricane path
a layer of green covers
early autumn leaves

Paul MacNeil

such sharp edges—
the few red leaves on a branch
of eucalyptus

Alice Benedict

river
the moon slowly ripples
downstream

Carol O'Dell

collected fog
the raveled fringe
of her scarf
