April Judged by Shara McCallum First Place Drought by Sue Kay Pen Shells Drought raises its head, trumpets another amber sunrise, tusks the earth, charges the faded foliage, tramples, tosses it aside.

disco diva
singing I feel love ly
high noon where solstice meets with moon:

Summer

from body parts
but there is no last dance
