book cover image - Sixty Poems

 
Winner of the adult category (18 and older)

Jalapeno like the sun

which can always color one

fire plant cool passion

good warm organic monster

     --by Doreen Milcarek

 

 

 

Winner of the teen category (12-17)

Languages we climb away from

asked a question to the world

jealous of God’s emerald skinned house

and not waiting overnight

to cool

set about another task

to build

to stem earth’s meadow

with hand and sun

cycling local and global

reaching inevitably to the moon

an alternative

            -- by Jacob Davenport

 

 

Winner of the children’s category

Sun and moon

Stars and clouds

When God bows out

Come cumulous clouds

When a giant pearl is here

That’s the moon 

            -- by  Lona Cataldo
