Raeanna Tremethick and Emma Carmona have moved on to the Poetry Out Loud virtual state competition.
The contest showcases the talents of high school performance poets across the nation. The students present poems from established poets.
Tremethick won first place. One of her performances included “A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky” by Lewis Carroll.
Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.
Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
She also presented a poem by Margarita Engle.
Carmona came in second place. She performed “England in 1819” by Percy Bysshe Shelley and “Time does not bring relief; you all have lied” by Edna St. Vincent Millay.
