Poetry
— Blizzard white snow twirling dancing like another kind of ballerina. I see a girl she is white— seeing something I can’t see— a white hawk circling
— Winter melts into spring as mountains show green haze, moles tunnel, and a robin pulls the first worm from softened ground.
— A tree and stars converse at night, each envying the other's life until they recognize their own unique purposes and blessings.
— A girl escapes her unwanted birthday party to the woods where she encounters a wolf, recognizing their shared solitude before exchanging wordless farewells.
— Thirteen sensory vignettes capture autumn through taste, sound, sight, and feeling, from gingersnaps to geese flying south to the mountain's sigh.
— A five-year-old's fragmented memories of September 11th capture confusion through misheard words and the sudden absence of the towers.
— A skateboarder captures the split-second of flight when jumping a curb, where worldly problems disappear before the wheels touch down again.
— A boy waits in line at a shaved ice stand, observing others' pleasure before experiencing his own first taste of Gushing Grape.
— A twelve-year-old slips outside at night to lie in wet grass, listening to her watch tick and feeling the wind carry away time's demands.
— A storm builds through vivid color and sound imagery — yellow light, scarlet glow, pounding rain, thunder — then retreats into peace.
