HONORABLE
MENTION
Rosanne Sbrigata
Howard Beach, NY
Far away from the fray,
my celtic harp gently lisping.
I hear the liquid dewdrop tones of the strings,
as my fingers lightly dance, hardly touching,
flying,
floating, strumming.
My heart listens to the whirring cry from the wind—
a high-pitched plaintive whine.
Worrying, wondering, in a lovesick complaint,
where my love is awandering.
