Roses are Red…WINNER

This year, we decided to do a mini-contest for Valentine’s Day.  The contest was simple, anyone who wanted to participate just had to post a poem on the wall of our Facebook page to enter.  The winner would be selected the day after Valentine’s Day.

Well, that day is today!  After looking at all the submissions, the decision was unanimous.  The winner of the first ever Kennedy Violins Valentine’s Day Mini-Contest is: Emma Buckman.  The judges commented that they  really liked “her use of metaphors” and “the cadence of  her verses.”  Check it out!

If Roses are Red and Violets are blue

Then Violin music is a beautiful hue

A kaleidoscope of breathtaking shades

Of color is seen when violins are played

It soothes your soul and warms your heart

The very first moment the violin starts

It makes you feel loved like a sweet valentine

So Kennedy Violins won’t you please be mine

Thanks Emma!  We would also like to give a shout-out to Patrick Lengkong, Mary Nicholson, and Crystal Ramsey.  You can read their entries on our Facebook page.

If you didn’t win or receive a shout-out, don’t worry.  There are more contests coming up!  Check our blog and our Facebook page for the most up -to-date news at Kennedy Violins.
