                      A square image with a stylized, patriotic, and commemorative aesthetic, designed for a piece of poetry. The main feature is a black and white illustration of the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor, centered against a light blue sky with stylized Japanese wave clouds (blue and white) and sparkling stars. An American flag flies from the memorial structure. Below the memorial is a large, solid red umbrella shape, and the entire scene is set on a background of light blue, white, and red. A black and white owl logo is positioned in the lower right corner. Pearl Harbor Day Text: Paula Frew, WE REMEMBER, POETRY

                      Pilots
                      attacked the fleet
                      at Pearl Harbor, striking
                      the Navy on December 7.
                      We fought. 

                      The bombs
                      detonated.
                      The fires multiplied,
                      and so the death toll did rocket.
                      Senseless.

                      Observe
                      Pearl Harbor Day.
                      Foes attacked. It was a
                      “date that will live in infamy”.
                      Always.

                      Now, we
                      honor those who
                      died defending our land.
                      We remember the lives we lost.
                      Always.

                      Transplanted from Ohio to Kentucky to be near her only daughter and three young grandsons, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. She fell in love with the form and was first published in an anthology at fourteen. A battle with multiple sclerosis has caused her to find her home in a nursing home, where she has found time to craft her poetry as well as time to teach writing to other residents. She has been published in several literary magazines and anthologies, including Ohio Bards and The Walt Whitman Anthology.

                      A small red brick structure with a metal roof sits at the edge of a grassy cliff overlooking a wide blue body of water. The horizon stretches across the middle of the image beneath a soft sky that fades from peach to pink and pale blue. my lighthouse TEXT: Home, Elena Shirokikh, Poetry

                      Sunlight spills warmly between two towering, old trees whose thick, twisting trunks and wide branches stretch outward like open arms, their bright green leaves glowing against the golden light. The scene feels peaceful and hopeful, like a quiet invitation to care for the earth and watch something lasting grow. great tree TEXT: Mary Derringer, Plant a Tree on Arbor Day, Poetry

                      A stylized illustration shows a hand gently holding a small mound of soil from which a leafy green tree and plants are growing. The background is a soft green gradient with glowing accents, giving a fresh, vibrant feel. The MockingOwl Roost owl logo sits near the base of the plants.
