AUTHOR NOTES

GLASS RAIN—the poetry by Margaret Roxby

“FROM THE WANDERERS” was a work in progress and had also been titled “Homecoming” and “The Wanderers Return.” The author also noted that poem had received a Second Honorable rating, but she neglected to note the competition. It is another poem reflecting the author’s fascination with space exploration. In adddition, she included this information:

Shakespearean sonnet (variation) 7 rhymes and the rhyme pattern: abab cdcd efefgg (as he did). But rather than 3 quatrains & concluding couplet, I pursued the Miltonian concept of:   14 lines molded into one unit.
