|..TH E TE R MINAL HONORABLE MENTION 1 ; | j i i I Page 107 BUTTERFLIES Summer smirks, and with a bow, Presents us with her puppet show; She whisks white curtains up, and now We spy the stage-lights a ll aglow; Mute stage- sets stand in bright green grounds. With hems and seams of molten gold; And now her dollies tumble down, And with a joyous shrug unfold; They minuet on unseen strings, With courtly bows and graceful mien, And undulate their pastel wings Like shadow creatures from a dream. Then casual summer, with cold eye Cuts their strings; they fall and die. John Ower, 11-29 HONORABLE MENTION THE OTH R SIDE On other side the river lie... Not what the poet said; But what if I can reach the bank, On which to lie my head? It seems the water s wide and deep. And no bridge to walk across. • So my head will never sleep On the other side. ' Fields of barley, and of rye... ' To feed the peasants ' mouth. But they are on the other side. The greedy and uncouth. It seems the water ' s deep and strong. No bridge to walk across. My stomach now will hunger long To reach the other side. Gladys Perkins, 11-30
