Isabelle Brantley

Tilting treetop toy
between finger and thumb spin
nature's artiface


Chris Lewis

Extended branches
Catch light leaving shadows from
all angles I see


Cordelia Brodsky

spine less lock look in:
stood bush wood carbon cage
rain would be to mulch


Laura Goss

twirling fun and games
sticks reach out to hold the air
dizziness then black


Tamara Jerardo

Branches disappear
Rapid approach, then retreat
Frayed, yet never still.


Laura Cabrian

four or five branches
circle around my picture
making me dizzy


Jessie Katz

Sure, trees are pretty
But my hand is getting tired
Thirty-two's a lot.


Jess Miller

branches flying by
spinning in dizzy circles
they will not stay still


Maria Bninski

stalking labyrinths
around my tree at midnight
leaves ink to black tea
