Honorable Mention
Before Radio Flyer
Dane Hebert

Not butterflies but dragonflies.
And we never pulled their wings

apa rt.

Hunted them with homemade
rubber band rifles.

Jimmy could knock dragonflies
off a clothesline

far away as twenty feet.

Rubber bands recycled
from a neighbor's newspaper.

Sunday's best.

Thick and elastic
to bind paper flyers,

used to abuse
God’s gossamers.

~

Freeze a June bug.

Tie a string to his frozen leg.
Gently and with care.

Let the bug thaw slowly
and it will rival

a store bought
airplane.
