2017 Program

​2017 Sonnet Contest Winners

From 2016-2018, a Sonnet Contest was held annually and the winning Sonnet would be read from stage during intermission. ​
It will Come by Teresa Jones
 When golden autumn into winter fades,
And wretched heart with sorrow ne’er to end
Turns memory into sallow, ghostly shades
For Love grown cold upon the loss of friend;
When Time plods on with bitter, steady tread,
While grief, fallow, lies stale and passions sleep;
When doubts increase by haunting anguish fed,
And hope retires to dismal caverns deep;
With life behind, a wretchedness untold,
And life before yet dead with icy chill,
No love to warm the heart that’s turning cold,
No toast to drink; with friend, no glass to fill--
When feeling seems to sleep for everything--
Then pray for Peace, and, hopeful, long for Spring.
Second Place: Upon a Photograph of Saint Gemma Galgani by Andrew Tucker
Third Place: Behest of Duty by Teresa Jones
