THE
ANNUAL BOB SCHULZE POETRY CONTEST
Bob
Schulze was a long-time summer resident of the area north of Harbor Springs who
loved the woods and the beach, and loved to write poetry. As a boy in Springfield, Illinois, Bob won a writing
prize that sparked his lifetime interest in writing.
The Schulze family decided to use funds given for Bob’s memorial
to start a poetry prize open to youngsters of middle school age, whether in the
local Emmet County schools, home school or summer visitors. The grand prize for the winning entry is
$100. In addition, there are prizes for
winning entries from each participating middle school and from the Emmet County
libraries. An advisory committee made up
of members selected by the Schulze family will choose the winning entries.
The
Fourth Annual Bob Schulze Poetry Contest is currently underway. The winners should be announced by the end of
January, 2004.
Every student who entered the contest should be congratulated for
their effort!!
The results from the Third Annual Bob Schulze Poetry Contest are:
Sara Murray, Littlefield Middle School
one little star
emerges bright.
It dances across
the midnight sky,
proudly, it
shines as the night goes by.
Its beauty is
found in nature’s eye,
as it sits so
perfectly way up high.
It seems to send
a message of hope,
and gives one
the courage to deal and cope.
It shines so
brightly in a darkened mass,
sparkling like
the most costly of glass.
It lends its beauty
to every eye,
and fills my
heart, as well as, the sky.
