After much, much disappointment reading this year’s entries, I am pleased to share our first place poem, which comes from Robert Perret. As you will see, this poem ably captures the spirit of our town founder and the town itself. Congratulations to Robert on this incredible piece of literature which will be framed and mounted in the Question Mark Public Library for all future generations to see, etcetera, etcetera.

by envelope
by pigeon wing
our fondest hopes
tied with string

our hearts do leap
just like the year
Reginald Willey
soon is near

there's no question
he hit the mark
in all of Ohio
a shot in the dark
