Poetry winner: An Estonian tune
December 11, 2008
How does Gabor Mandy so often manage to win the poetry competition? At our last event (Nov 29) we award him our special grand prize – a rubber chicken Elvis. (Please don’t ask.) Here is Gabor’s winning submission:
Dawn at the sea.
Here
there’s nothing to hear
except the waves.
No whales,
no birds,
no words,
just the wind is whispering.
Suddenly a girl starts singing
what is, I assume,
an Estonian tune.
The girl is cute,
I’m in my Baltic mood.
I’m wondering – whether
Estonians and Hungarians
are like sister and brother?
