Honorable Mention
Windfall
Michael MV(Michael Virga)

closing couplet for summer

the tan on my little toe
that's the first to go


in autumn

old leaves
begin

to show
true

colors

looking
loveliest


the very first leaf

drifting

down
the old well


there no tree grows

no wind moves
the lunar-leaf

the first leaf
to land

on the moon


an autumn drought

but the sky is overcast
with colorful clouds

the wind strikes
and the arid air

splashed

with crisp
bright leaves


a kinda equinox

raking leaves
in the same slant of light
for hunting eggs


in a gust of October

caught
in a flurry of leaves

a left-over butterfly


a rainbow leaf

sets sail for the center of the sun


in full bloom

homecoming
open-air concert

the first few arrive

the crowd swells

opening up
to a packed arena


silhouette

of a large leaf
with 5 points

a fallen star
marks the moon


man vs. season

the scarecrow stares down
at the snowman
from across the store aisle

but he doesn't melt back down


another leaf

launched

spaces out

orbits

lands
still drifting

in the groove
of a sickle moon


on leave

"out of the tree
at this time . . "

the message recorded live
and calls will be returned

all in the same wind
