After a week of voting, I am pleased to announce the winner of the growth-themed February 2019 Poet Laureate Contest: Aersoldorf! The fifteen-time Poet Laureate (and only poet commended and commissioned by the Council) returns yet again to the post for a sixteenth go! Here is his entry, Entry 1:
With the deadline growing closer
And my time thus growing short
I must quash my growing panic
Pen some verses, failure thwart
With Writer's Block that's growing bad,
Muddled mind that's growing blank,
And a Muse that's grown quite silent,
My high hopes are growing dank
I could praise my growing children,
Watch the flowers grow in spring,
I could talk of growing older,
Or the growing joy you bring,
I will leave you with this question,
Since it's time to turn this in,
Did my use of growing grow on you
And maybe grow a grin?
Congrats Aersoldorf! Thank you as well to Thuringen Hesse, Nate NBNS, and Sargon Reman for the excellent entries as well!
The Poet Laureate contest will be back in June, so keep up the creativity, Islanders!
