dressed for church
the perfume
of the garden

in the parking lot
a rose petal has arrived
from nowhere special

slightly warm
this one perfectly ripe
wild blackberry

Alice Benedict

twilight beach—
a wave takes half
the lovers' heart

Rick Tarquinio

summer night
after the fireworks
the smoke

John Stevenson

long sermon
in the roof beams
cobwebs flutter

Dean Summers

between thumb and forefinger
a raspberry
full of morning sun

Kay F. Anderson

the salad bar's
long metal tongs
dining hall coolness

Burnell Lippy

Fourth of July
in the fireworks' glow
a sumi-e mountain

Ferris Gilli

first thunderclap
our neighbor stops
hammering
