PMA poet honored in Frost contest

By Staff | Nov 19, 2015

HUDSON – Carlo Cata­lan, a fifth-grade student at Presentation of Mary Academy, was selected as the Hillsborough County honorable mention poet in the Robert Frost Youth Poet Program.

Carlo’s poem was select­ed from nearly 300 entries by the faculty and staff of the University of New Hampshire English Depart­ment. Carlo received a citation from Gov. Maggie Hassan. Here is Carlo’s winning entry:

OUR FREEDOM

Freedom is a gift from soldiers above.

So we should cherish them with love.

As children of the world

we come together

By treating each other

with kindness forever.

When we see things that are not right,

We should do all we

can with all our might.

In school or at home or at play,

We should remember our

freedom every day.
