1st Prize
Micah Thorstenson
Provider and Divider
A cave and the storm;
Mother Earth's invitation
and her vengeful wrath.
2nd Prize
Linnea Young
Exile
Alien resides
illusive and illegal
homelessness survives
3rd Prize
Mother
Looking out the glass
My heart aches for my children
Struggling every day
Beck Prigot
Warmth
Not within cold walls
But within my friends' warm arms
Do I find my peace
Marjorie Richards
Spoken Here
a porch light left on
gravel crunching an old song
no note to translate
Mabel Baumgardner
Saudade
Inviting and warm,
Sometimes home has a heartbeat
But no guarantee.
