Winning Poem
Wood-smoke
Submitted by Candlewitch
We mellowed...
reclining by the camp fire
after a day of splashing,
swimming, and water games.
I shivered as
evening came in to surround us
with a cooling breeze.
Your fisherman knit sweater
you placed about my shoulders,
staved off a slight chill.
Your glittering orbs
held me intoxicated.
As I felt the last of
the sun's rays
leach out of the sand
Quietly exchanging daydreams,
I noticed, wood-smoke, was
the color of your smiling eyes!
