QUIET CONTEMPLATIONS -- A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME

2ND PLACE: "Closer" by Phyllis Hemann

Our judges loved this lyrical and enticing ode to intimacy. We're sure you will, too. Editors

Between you
and me
the shortest
distance
is a glance,
a smile,
a word,
a giggle and
fingers floating
across my lips,

as I speak
your name -
familiar
and exotic -
all at once

my love.
