Competition
Josh Glasson
Poem Location:
behind Edward Jones Investments,
100 East Second Street
Each passing moment,
Full of eternal hope
And infinite possibility,
May be loved
Or feared.
Pause here a moment
And dream.
Deanna Hargrave
Poem Location:
Muscatine Soccer Complex
401 South Houser Street
Melting ice cream clouds
Sliding syrup reds
Periwinkle layers
Served in a dish
Of silhouetted trees
Muscatine sunsets
Food for my soul–
Mmmmm
Kathy McConnaha
Poem Location:
Muscatine County Courthouse
401 East Third Street
Opened eyes look around
A friendly community
In a little town
A bridge that connects
Pearls light the way
An overlook to sit atop
As sun fades from the day
Rachel Roeth
Poem Location:
West side of Muscatine City Hall
215 Sycamore Street
This house sings to me
Of laughter and tears
In the years before
And yet to come
Of what grew and will grow
In soil and hearts
She is wooing me.
Misty Urban
Poem Location:
Boonie’s on the Avenue,
214 Iowa Avenue
Child slips his hand in
mine, that curious small
shovel, and heart hinges
open, sidewalk etched
with two-headed shadow
bodies doubled
connected,
complete.
