Our Winter issue includes poems from our Second Ever One Sentence Poetry Contest, including this one, one of three winning poems chosen by our editors from among the nearly three hundred poems that were entered. We’re already looking forward to our Third Ever One Sentence Poetry Contest, beginning in Mid-February.
Third Wednesday’s annual poetry contest is accepting entries until February 15th, 2019. Here is a winning poem from 2017 from Washington poet, Cheryl Clough. Judge Larry Levy said: “Seeking Center seems to me one of the most deserving winners in this year’s entries. It demonstrates a strong command of language, economy of expression, and sense of direction. It begins well, builds with an interesting theme in mind, and develops and sustains that theme in surprising and arresting ways.
Our Poem of the Week was first published in fall 2018 issue of Third Wednesday. Here is Ted Kooser’s poem, Fairgounds.
Michael Mark, a frequent contributor to Third Wednesday, is featured in today’s column in American Life in Poetry. Here’s a link to his poem “Estelle” .
Congratulations Michael!
