After a week of voting, it's really no surprise who won the February 2020 alphabetic Poet Laureate Contest: the one and only Aersoldorf, the eighteen-time Poet Laureate (and only poet commended and commissioned by the Council)! Here is his entry, Entry 1:
Overdue
Will I live to see sunrise?
Ev'ry night I ponder deep,
Rising daily, friends to find,
Eaten, mangled, in their sleep.
Who among us could it be?
Once dear neighbor, causing pain,
Let's strike back before we die,
Vengeful justice for the slain.
Ev'ry time the mob is wrong,
Sends an innocent to die,
Are we monsters worse than they?
Needing death more time to buy?
Yes, it's time, I think, my friends,
One more jump into the fray,
Need a host to start things off,
Ev'ryone, I hope, will play.
?
Congrats Aersoldorf!
The Poet Laureate contest will be back in June, so keep up the creativity, Islanders!
