OUR POEM COMPETITION
HE prize of half-a-guinea this week is awarded to "F. G.-Lee’"’ for his "Poppies of Flanders," which voices, sweetly and poignantly, the long, long thoughts of many of us during the past week. Selected for commendation is another short poem in memory of those who have "outsoared the shadow of our night." This is by "‘Margaret B.," and has as inspiration our immortal Anzacs. V. May Cottrell sends an eerie and skilfully constructed nocturne of the jungle, which makes one glad to be out of reach of those padding velvet paws. S.D.S.: After the first four lines, which are admirable, interest wavers, and flickers out toward the close. G. B. (Masterton): Far too long.. "The little more and how much it is!" "Sardonyx" is again to the fore with a quaint conceit, which is written on a note of unusual originality. We are sorry that, for the moment, lack of space precludes publication.
