Poetry Best of Show – Art S. Tenbrink “My Wet Eyes Lift To See”
Plump pomegranates bend branches beckoning to begonia blooms below.
Backyard breakfast al fresco, I settle here with the Times.
Sun beams on today’s headlines: Bird Numbers Dwindle. Three billion lost in last 50 years. North America alone- 1/3 gone.
Black silhouettes of lost birds fly off the page: Aerial insectivores -32%
Land birds -27% Water birds -32% Shorebirds -37%
Only ducks and geese increase.
Grieving Nature’s loss I hear a furious flutter nearly in reach. My wet eyes lift to see
the crimson throat and iridescent breast of an Anna's hummingbird dart among purple bougainvillea.

Poetry Best of Class: Lauren de Vore “Three Stone Steps”
Three stone steps are all that’s left
Of the house that once stood
In the shadow of the massive oak.
Then a portal from haven
To wild wood, three lone steps
Now lead nowhere but up to down.
Lichen-spotted, moss-mortared
Into the grassy bank, they give no clue
To the house builder, the stone setter,
No hint what felled the house
And erased all sign of habitation
Beyond their own mute presence.
But the oak, the ancient oak knows,
And with each breeze it whispers
The tale the stones cannot tell.
Leaves rustle. Flying things flit
Through dappled light. I listen. I hear.
Ah, if only I spoke the language of trees.
