Honorable Mention Winner, Poetry

 "2001 Stars"
Cynthia Washington
Puyallup, WA.

 My God, it’s full of stars!

I shouted

As an aromatic galaxy

Floating in a yellow broth universe

Swirled beneath my eyes.

I piled yesterday’s soup pot

Into the sink

Laughing,

My feet on patterned linoleum

Wearing one maroon sock.
