Hello there! How is your summer going ?
To celebrate the summer season, I’d like to share with you two of my poems (one today, one next month) that recently won Honorable Mention awards at the national poetry competition run by the Canadian Authors Association. I’m so thrilled to be recognized in this contest – made even more special by the publication of an anthology of winners as part of the Canada 150 celebrations! The anthology includes winners of both the poetry and short story contests – great summer reading! And it’s available from the National Capital Region Branch of the CAA, OR (thanks to subscriber Lynn for pointing this out) from Amazon here.
Although photography was not part of the competition, I did have in mind a photo for each of the poems. This month’s shot was taken along the banks of the Jock River near my home.
I hope you can pause for a few moments and enjoy “Too Long a Winter”.

Love it. I am so proud of you. 💕💕
Patsy, you’ve been with me for so long! Thank you! XO
Beautiful! Both the words and the pictures. I love the thought of the spring air’s promise. Thank you, Lee Ann
Hope you have more sunny days.
So lovely, Lee Ann. Congratulations on the good showing in the competition!
I also wanted to add that you can purchase the anthology this poem appears in on Amazon, for anyone interested. It’s here:

Belated thanks for the link, Lynn! It’s probably the easiest way to get a copy of the anthology.
