MAY 15, 2026 POETRY Woodstock PEDRO CAMPOS Groundcover vendor No. 652 Disregard destination I follow my instincts against the river reaching higher ground for a better perspective breathe in, breathe out I say to myself the air gets rare and cold a cloud passes by obscuring my vision sunset sunrise I saw trouble, so I ran urges to move on breaking boundaries grab my bag and leave my honor with me here I am turning stones into stairs leverage along the way free as a bird trails open as I walk the bears and the bees I’m going for the honey sources coyotes, eagles, snakes my new gang now I get around what I understand from experience commit and persist you shall prevail sunset sunrise there’s a special joy in being proud of the Man I’ve become values shared in life I climb the mountain high enough to fall deep into myself suddenly, back to earth keep it simple sunset sunrise Pure air, spring water good conversations some mystery a little adrenaline lots of adventures nature’s power On river flow Once again I’m on my own Sunset sunrise silence is filled by the living sounds from the forest not to fear GROUNDCOVER NEWS Beautiful Woman, Broken Heart LA SHAWN COURTWRIGHT Groundcover writer I am a beautiful woman with a broken heart Everyone I love and those who love me Have been taken away from me This is not how I ever imagined My life would come to be my near future splashes ahead of me refreshing waterfall smoke rises from my pipe high on the mountain sunset sunrise later stars come out followed by my magnetic moon yes, this all belongs to me that’s who I am It brings me joy how blessed I am I am here everywhere I am someone else but same cause I know this is the closest to God I’ll ever be sunset sunrise precious moments better memories for my self learned my lessons now give me time mountain lion season starting now Shame especially on you Ronnie!! You are very wicked To torture our daughter My baby I can not have another child How can you look at her Look at yourself in the mirror What you have done and continue to do Is tortuous to both her and me You lie and put me and my name down in the mud While destroying me inside And your own daughter, your flesh and blood Yes, I am a beautiful woman still With a broken heart Not only you, but a whole lot of my family That I was only good enough for When and if they were in need Now, I sit alone a lot now I will never look at anyone else the same you understand This is way beyond anything fathomable to me This is worse than any nightmare I am living in a wake state of the most horrible things Yet, I am a beautiful woman, hoping to mend my broken heart before it bleeds out From all of the many, many, continuous horrors beset on my precious babies and me Yet, I'll never give up, I am a strong BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, with a BROKEN HEART 13 Beach SHAWN SWOFFER Groundcover vendor No. 574 As I walk along the beach I see seashells and sand dollars all over. As the water rushes up to kiss my toes and my feet the sun is shining. I feel the warmth of the day welcoming me to my morning. I can hear and see seagulls flying overhead; in the distance there are dolphins swimming in their pods.
