fQETRYg CONTEST gWINNERS fied First Place WET WINDS by Dell Bush The stiff undressed limbs of the trees Stretched up to the heggard sky With their prickly twigs standing out Like goose pimples on e chilly dey. Telephone poets leaned forward On their flimsy wires for support That wee not there, And the entagonietic mood Of the wind battered on Cringing deedened leaves. The grumbling ill-tempered heavens Drew their dark brows together And fretted in ugly discontent, ' While the impending storm withheld itself On the brink of the sky with threatening gestures Like d bed-mannered child With ite tongue weggling from petulunt lips. Second Place R 1 TRANSITION by Alice Logan Everything was calm. There was no stir, no pain. I only knew that I was tired no more. It seemed that I was floating in a mist on to Oblivion. Leaving the earth hed not before seemed Simple as e step from here to thereg But new d quiet journey to the vest unknown, A great adventure D Bidding this earthly sphere farewell, Seemed not so etrnnge Since new I felt so weary of my sojourn there. Eegerly I sought to reach the henvenly quest, Knowing my soul could find eternal rest. at jf' '
