An Even the Odds Entry

Summer Showgirls

by June Sargent

Delight

when red roses

with velvety petals

flaunt their beauty with such great flair

while across the yard regal lilac bush

sways ever so gently in the breeze

scenting the warm summer air

with tempting sweetness

butterfly's

Bliss

By Y. M. Roger

Flit through the air

Of effulgent streaks and glitter
Performing ?neath where the trees meet the stars

Enhancing the vibrant show
You?ll never forget
Dancing with
Sprites!
