1 autumn (Jay)
morning light
dragonflies barely ripple
the lagoon
2 autumn moon (Leticia)
does this warmth
come from you, O moon?
3 autumn (Tenzing)
the scarecrow’s
lost a button or two
off his coat
4 No Season (Carmi)
my neighbor weaves
a skein of old yarn
5 winter (Bethel)
in his cold hut
the hermit prepares
rosehip tea (Bethel)
6 winter (Jackie)
a rare visitor leaves
footprints in the snow
7 No Season (Alison)
just inside the door
lies an envelope
with a foreign stamp
8 No Season (Jay)
bits of paper protrude
from the eagle’s nest
9 Love (Jackie)
her new bikini
causes his eyes to bug out
and his heart to flutter
10 love (Jackie)
the scent of perfume
wafts from the dryer
11 love (Carol)
as I read my book
I hear her sing a lullaby
to our daughter
12 No Season (Jay)
if clouds could speak
these would whisper
13 summer moon (Doris)
summer moon
swallowed
by the mountain
14 summer (Tanya)
bats begin to swoop
all around the camp
15 No Season (Carol)
three girls
race for the white horse
on the carousel
