And the winner is...

We had so many wonderful entries for our January newsletter's Summer Rose Giveaway, thank you all for taking the time to send us your beautiful roses.
We all agreed, however, that the $250 Wakefield Press voucher should go to Ray Tyndale who sent in this lyrical, floral poem:

Maud

scant apologies to Tennyson!

 

Come my poppy

Fling open your flaming petals

Give to me your black heart.

Come my pansy

Toss back your knowing head

Share with me your secret thoughts.

Come my rose

Fill the air with your pungency

I will swim in your scented sea.

Come into the garden

My poppy, my pansy, my darling rose
Entwine with me.

The sun shall succour your black heart

The moon will keep your secret thoughts

And I will drown.
