Teen’s poetry lauded

WHEN HOLLY Norman entered her

poem, entitled “Do You Remember”, in a
contest for teenage poets last year she

didn’t think much of it.

So when she recently received a letter
. from the Poetry Institute of ‘Canada sta-
ting her poem had been chosen from

thousands of entries, she was stunned.

‘But Holly isn’t your average 18- ~year-
old poet. What makes her poetry unique
is her choice of topic. She only writes

Remembrance Day poetry.

_ Once a year, every November, some-
thing Holly’s heart compels her to write.
“It just comes out,” Holly said. “I

guess [ just get brain waves.”

__ Remembrance Day is a special day to
her, she says, because her grandfather
and Ker grandmother's brother both fought
inthe Second World War.

Her mother, Sandy Norman, who is a
Legion member, has always encouraged
her daughter to write Remembrance Day
poetry, which was always entered in the

Legion's teen poetry contest.

Holly won the Legion's contest in 1995

and 1996,

“Holly says she puts a lot of “heart”

into her poems.

_“Not.many people my age want ‘to
write about Remembrance Day,” she
said. “They don’t respect the day like [

do. ”

- Holly’s poem will be published in a
book by the National Library of Canada.

LOCAL POET: Hoily Norman’s poem
“Do you remember” will be published in -
an anthology of verse, entitled Aiver of
Goild, along with the best poems written
by teenagers from across Canada.

But ] remember,

I wasn’t the enemy,
I wasn't the foe,

I wasn’t born yet,
But I remember.

I never got the letter,
I never had the tears,
I only saw the grave stones,
But I remember. . .

T remember that people died,

I remember how they fought,
] remember why they did it,
For freedom I thought.
