Sketchbook 3-4, April 30, 2008

 

Trish Shields, CA

Patience

 

It stands
in the eelgrass
watching the tidewater
rise and fall, waiting for the right
shadows.

 

 

Stilted

 

Herons
gaze out to sea,
ignoring warring seals

their disdain caught with each cock of
their head.

 

 

Hunting Heron

 

wading
into the stream
he waits, looking this way
and that; caught by his reflection
he's snagged

Last Regrets

 

Submerged
Holding my breath
I wish I'd said, goodbye.
Hands constrict, as I think of you
I gasp

 

 

 

 

Karen O'Leary, US

Inspired

 

within
each soul music
longs to soar to new heights
and dance among the stars without
limits
