Poetry Contest Winners Announcement

Imagination  Creativity  Inspiration 

April is National Poetry Month

"A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone's knowledge of himself and the world around him." - Dylan Thomas

Neptune Public Library is proud to present winners of our poetry contest: 

Trinitee Smith
Winner of group Children K-4 

Boys!

Today I was thinking about boys
They always think about their toys.
They are crazy.
They are kookie.
They always say "cool to dog poopie.
But one day I will marry one.
I don't think it will be much fun. 




Juliana Rodriguez
 Winner of group Tween and Teen 

Day at the Beach

Sandy toes in the sand;
The warmth of my parents’ hands.
Collecting colorful shells as we walk along;
Listening to the ocean’s soothing song.
A beautiful sunset dripping into the sea;
The noisy seagulls flying freely.
I look out and strain to see;
A dolphin family playing in the water happily.
There is no place on Earth I’d rather be;
Than here by the ocean only mom, dad and me.

Rosemary Wright
Winner of  group Adult 

Dining Hall, 1:55 pm                                                              

I could bolt out the door,

run away through September sunlight

warm like lemon glaze.

I could forget class,

abandon the blue portfolio,

and that drawing, my first,

messy and meaningless,

like tracks of slugs on sidewalks.

I stare at my plate,  

tuna sandwich reeks like cat food,

chocolate cake tastes like chalk.

A class critique.  My stomach lurches,

a pack mule stumbling on rock.

Lamar appears,

my sixth-grade student years ago,

now grown tall, dignified,

a Druid priest in an Eagle’s tee shirt.

He sits, tells me he’s an art major.

I blink,

tell him I’m retired,

trying new things.

My voice sounds small,

a mouse in a jar.

He frowns, touches my arm.

I feel the warmth

of crocus melting snow.

Stay in school, he whispers,

We’re all beginners.

Always.

I murmur thanks.

Still I scan the door,

like a bird fluttering  against glass,

seeking escape.

The clock ticks,

I trudge to class.
