To Mia Ankeney (age 10) Aeron McConnell (age 11)and Abby McConnell (age 9) for winning in the Wordfest/Blue Ridge Parkway Inaugural Poetry Contest, Spring 2010!

To the great folks who turned out for the May 8, 2010 Poetry Scavenger Hunt at the Thomas Wolfe House. Families went searching for poetry and here's a couple examples of what they found:



The Coffee Shop

By Austin Wood with help from Lila Wells

May 8, 2010

Mmm, coffee and brownies,

With sausage thrown in:

Three of the best smells.

Sour lemonade

In a cold, icy glass,

Conversation between families

All around.

The juicer, like a lawnmower,

Cuts greens into a glass

For the lady in the

Yellow and orange flowered pants.

The coffee maker gargles,

Rich and dark,

Into a warm mug,

Bringing good breakfast memories.

The kaleidoscope floor makes me happy.


Silver Wheel

(By Noah, Eliana, Mira and Jeremy Phillips)

Wind in leaves, tractor buzz

Left face sunny, right face breeze

In the middle of warm and cold

The wind is blowing my shirt around

            making it a bubble on my chest

At the store

There's an old lady singing breezy songs

The cat candy

Tastes like a fruit rocking horse and a slide

I see the Big Dipper every day

One side warm on the other cold

I wanna hear just one thing

            Am I still your sweet one?

And what else?

Fortune: Success is ten percent perspiration

            and ninety percent deodorant!
