6th Annual Poetry Contest

Calling all Dover area students please join us for our 6th Annual Dover Public Library Poetry Contest! Since it's inception over 2300 poems have been submitted to our contest--I think that is pretty impressive. The contest is for students from K-12th grade and prizes will be awarded in 6 different grade categories: K-2, 3&4, 5&6, 7&8, 9&10, and 11&12. Pick up a contest rules sheet at the Dover Public Library, at your Dover School Library, or download one here. Last years 1st Place winner in the K-2 category, Joseph Thompson, wrote a poem about the Library--here it is for your reading pleasure.

The Library

Tunnel of imagination

Has to be quiet

Elaborate quietly

Live another life

Isn't so cool to be yelling

Books, Books, Books, Dictionaries, and more books

Rare tenderness kids peace

A dictionary is not enough

Roll to the adventures

You are the mastermind
