Mother’s Day Contest Winners
April 7, 2008 by trellismagazine
Thank you to everyone who submitted poetry for the Trellis Magazine Mother’s Day Poetry Contest. We received many wonderful poems that touched the hearts of the staff and the Judges. The Judges were very impressed with the ability of the writers to express their sentiments in a variety of poetic forms. They have awarded these prizes:
First Place: “Sepia Photo – One Room Schoolhouse, 1917” (Meditative Ode) by Liz Dolan
Second Place: “In the Oncology Ward” (Rondeau) by Allison Joseph
Third Place: “I am My Mother’s Daughter” (Irish Quatrains) by RJ Clarken
Student Book Prize: “Sacagawea” (Sestets) by Adria M. Olson, 8th grade
Honorable Mentions:
“Her Style” (Sonnet) by Gretchen Fletcher
“Indebtedness of Sons” (Rhyme Royal) by Michael Samford
“The Brat” (Quatrains) by Bob Dalton
“A Friend Forever” (Tercets) by Shilpa Agrawal
“missing you on mother’s day” (Letter-Poem) by Avisha Thakkar, 8th grade
The prize-winning poems will be published in the Spring magazine (coming soon). For this special contest, many other poems were selected by the Judges for the Mother’s Day Poet Recognition Award, and those poems will be published in bonus pages of the Spring magazine. The Spring magazine will make a great Mother’s Day gift. Go to the Current Issue section of the website and look for “COMING SOON” for instructions on pre-ordering a Spring magazine now to be mailed in time for Mother’s Day.
