Hey! I won honorable mention again in the Friends of the West Roxbury Library poetry contest! I’m happy. The theme was “wonder” and I spied a bust of Shakespeare that inspired the poem. (see bottom of page)
One Hundred Year Celebration
I wonder what
the Bard is thinking
surveying the library
for lovers of verse
from his perch
placed by the West Roxbury Shakespeare Classes
in 1924
I wonder what
the Bard is thinking
hearing the joy of our contest
of our odes and sonnets and sestinas
as we work and play with words
’till poems comes forth
in 2024
