First Place – Mary Zunick
Poem inspired by Eli Vega’s photograph “Sunflower”
Brilliant yellow light
Sparks joy in the soul
To me and to bees

Second Place – Donna Casparian
Poem inspired by Beverly Buys’ photograph “My Garden”
Garden Rooster crows
The morning heart awakens
Broken like an egg

Third Place – Janine Davis
Poem inspired by Michael Ashley’s ceramic vessel “Ozark Landscape”
From the earth we rise
Our hearts beat in the mountains
Breath one with the sky
