Sophomore Maggie Zaverl won third place (high school division) in the Fairbanks Arts Association Statewide Poetry Contest for her poem "Memories Stuck with Tape.” The poem is written in a form called a villanelle. ![]() Memories Stuck with Tape By Maggie Zaverl There are ninety-seven pictures on my wall Stories behind them like illustrations Not a face or time I’d put above all Some of the memories I can’t recall Most I remember with adoration There are ninety-seven pictures on my wall Smiling faces and moments so small Some stayed, others had an expiration Not a face or a time I’d put above all. Everyone is far away as a call I’ll always love them, no hesitation There are ninety-seven pictures on my wall Memories from school, travel, and basketball Sad times and times bursting with elation Not a face or a time I’d put above all. One day, all these pictures will surely fall I’m loved — the pictures are confirmation There are ninety-seven pictures on my wall Not a face or a time I’d put above all. |
