Embedded Files
During the month of May, we would like you to meditate on the promise of spring.
Consider the song, “The Waters of March” by Antonio Carlos Jobim, which contains the lyric:
“Afloat, adrift
A flight, a wing
A hawk, a quail
The promise of spring
And the riverbank talks
Of the waters of March
It's the promise of life
It's the joy in your heart"
Write a poem of no more than 100 words that contains the line, “the promise of spring”. Your poem can be imagistic, like Jobim’s, a narrative or some other genre of poetry.
Judges will be looking for creativity, precision in language and the use of memorable figurative language. There will be divisions for Grades 4-6, Grades 7-8, Grades 9-10 and Grades 11-12.
All submissions should be emailed to Chris Jull (chris.jull@crestwood.on.ca) no later than May 27. Winners will receive certificates and recognition on the CIS Ontario website.
