Darkest Before Dawn
Our Poem of the Week was submitted to Third Wednesday’s annual poetry contest by Vermont poet, James Crews. It was one of three contest winners. Our contest judge, Phillip Sterling said this about it:
“Darkest Before Dawn” by James Crews: A luminous description of an orchid in its contrary environment and the emotive/cognitive awareness if it on the part of the speaker, this poem is hopeful and promising, a gently rhythmic and subtly rhymed gift.

Like most journals, 3rd Wednesday publishes few landfill poems. They’re hard to come by for one thing. Here’s one from an English poet who demonstrates that rhyme is not dead. Our poem of the week was a contest honorable mention in our Spring issue.
