Honorable Mention
Kinglets
Dan Tompsett

They were here yesterday,
twig-boned, looting beetles
from bark and limbs.

You watched them
while pouting by the pond.
Your blue-lined eyes pilfered specks
of the day's scant light.

I focused on the kinglets,
their quick-hearted plumage
sparsely adorned but lovely
when you left with an aura
slightly softer than petrified wood.

The birds calmed,
I watched them preen
while hail stung the buds
your feet had crushed.
