Category Four winners

Category Four is our teacher category! We were so excited to see how many teachers wanted to give this a go too… we obviously have a lot of talent out there. Particular congratulations go to our winner, Holly Easton (SMC), who we felt gave voice to a feeling that we can all relate to currently.

Runner up:

Anneke Smit (Twizel)

Danielle Donehue (Ararira)

These poems will all appear in the first issue of WE magazine, and Holly’s appears below.

Home time

by Holly Easton

Home time isn't home time when all your time is at home.

Home time meant my time. Now it means go time. 

Zoom time and screen time and time flies and yet...

Slow time.

Hours and hours of the same thing and sometimes,

I just wish it would take no time, no time at all,

Until we're back in the world again and longing for home time.
