Summer
By Poetry Prize Winner Elizabeth Walker '02

Dew sparkling on dark green grass;

a robin swoops down to grab a worm

wriggling to get into the earth, unsuccessfully;

two girls run across the grass

letting the dew from the grass cling to their bare feet;

soon their feet glisten;

sun pours down their hair;

the bird flies off, its stomach full.
