When is a carpenter with a 2x4 like a poem? When he’s a sawin’ it. Speaking of forms of poetry, we are excited to launch our third annual ‘Short Poems for a Short Month’ challenge! Help brighten up the short winter days of Kawongians near and far by submitting your short form poetry for this column. Your effort should be short (think haikus, rhyming couplets, limericks, Cinquain). Email it to fergmeijer@gmail.com to participate. Sadly this challenge does not have a cash prize, because everyone knows that rhyme doesn’t pay.
The community rink is officially open for business! We are so grateful to all the volunteers that put so much time and effort into making and maintaining the ice surface. Please take care to store any equipment off the ice when you are done and make sure the lights are turned off before you leave if using it after dark.
