El Ojo’s Writers’ Awards
Few places on the planet do Give rise to a mystique. Lake Como does and Khatmandu, And then there’s Ajijic. A thousand sixty miles south Of Phoenix burning heat. It’s often known by word of mouth Where literati meet. D.H. Lawrence knew it well, But not the only writer, Who fled his inky urban hell In search of somewhere brighter. Contemporary writers find The climate right for writing, Their talents burst forth unconfined, Their poems and prose exciting. Take M.A. Porter, Mildred Boyd, We cheer each tour-de-force, Who never shall be unemployed But underpaid, of course. Thomas Hally, Tony Burton Always write great book reviews; And readers can be very certain Ms.Van Ostrand will amuse. A feature story unexplored Will need the skills of Johnny Ward. And poetry is whatsoe’er Without the touch of Billy Frayer. Jim Tipton, Gloria Marthai Are fixtures in the firmament. Both they and Mike McLaughlin try To ever more be germinant. Congratulations one and all; We marvel at your wherewithal! By Mark Sconce |
