The Bunny System

Congratulations to our final winner, Calli! This poem kind of touches the limit of the size I can manage to fit into a cartoon, but in this case I think it was well worth it, and I hope you do too!

Finally, I would like to give a great big shout-out to EVERYONE who submitted for this year’s contest. Even though I couldn’t choose everyone’s poem, I was impressed by all the great selections. Some of them were poems from my favorite childhood poets (Jack Prelutzsky, Shel Silverstein), some were previously unread works by famous authors (Shakespeare’s Sonnet #15) and some introduced me to great new authors I had never known before (Billy Collins, Rumi). In any case, in your own way, you’re all winners! . . . and in case you didn’t buy a word of that, hey, there’s always next year!
