Dappled moonlight illuminates lovers
beside old ford
they lock eyes
to breathe
love;
White
roses
dance in glee
as they witness
An affair to remember forever.

3rd place
An Enchanted Lamp-post
Neither the serenade of crickets
nor the waltz of moths
could appease her enough.
Secluded in a glass castle
her glowing beauty flickers,
unaware of the blazing beast
trapped within.

she is so W E A R Y -

Second Place
A night walker you’re lost in the dark
In life forlorn unseen dangers lurk
I’ll show the way, destination bright
For you I glow, your ornate road light.
