POETRY FEST


The Literary Arts Club proudly presented their first Poetry Fest to a full house this past Friday Evening. Ms. Adriana Pequeno hosted the gala event at Benedictine Academy. The enchanted evening began with a candlelit Coffee House and Live Song Performances by students Brittany Henderson and Elizabeth Bukiron. A Poetry Jam followed with almost two dozen student poets reciting their own poetry that expressed the innermost feelings of their hearts.


Mr. Ken Jennings, Principal, recited "If I Could Tell You" by W.H.Auden:

"Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay.
If I could tell you, I would let you know..."

Ms. Pequeno, also a poet at heart, read her moving poem called "Infusion". It was a truly delightful evening!
