Winterlight The wild red leaves Have fallen from the trees Bright cold bitter winterlight Cannot stir their sleeping hearts . . The texture of the air is pure Ice fragile To this world now A spell has been cast That surely cannot last For an eternal length of time All hearts must be warmed But winterlight Cannot warm mine . . .

Composition Almost despairing Traveling the sweet quiet dark That gives a little death Almost despairing As the fragile texture of night Is interrupted by The iron train Carving its path With one brilliant Glowing eye Roaring at a life That cannot break Its metal heart . . . No iron train am I But a vessel of sinew and bone That often dies at night Inspiration gone . . . I think we were Alaskan huskies Rubbing our noses In the cold wind Bliaghtford Honorable Mention

1 War After War We are tired of waiting for another war Our trees their leaves have shed The winter has come and gone Spring flowers have blossomed and withered And here we are Still waiting for another war Our atom bombs have rusty grown And bald are the heads of those who made them But we The ugly martyrs of another war Do not fear We have seen wars We know their taste is sweet And their smell is good Smoke from the guns is all we dream about Waiting for our opulent leaders To start another war Waiting Till the first shot is heard And the war trumpet is blown Willis Bully Nyong'a Honorable Mention hoto by reg Smith
