Poetry Competition 2008 winners

First Prize Switzerland, by Nicholas

Mountains are as still as dust on trees

Stuck in the mud and strong

As a line of plants in the open air.

Snowmen, still, cold, white, fat

And a great target for a snowball competition

Trains rushing through the stations,

Whistling and tooting

People charging to get a seat.

Ie-skating, slippery, dangerous, fun, scary,

But a good experience.

Landscape, a trap, all hilly and confusing

To the mind.

Second Prize My Pet Dog, by Louise

My dog is as cute as a cuddly toy

As naughty as a cheeky monkey

As sweet as sugar.

My dog is like a kangaroo jumping about

He is as clever as my brother

He can’t stand still.

My pet dog is a load of fun!

And that’s what I wanted!

Third Prize The Zombie, by Samuel W

The zombie’s neck covered

With congealed blood

His bones as weak as paper

Blood and bones stick out of his neck

He holds his head like a bomb

Flesh as rotten

As an old piece of chicken

Hair pokes from his nostrils

Like the hair on a giant spider

He smells of dead fish

The zombie is back!

Commended I wish… by Samuel J

I wish I had a pet lion called Nick,

With fur as gold as the gleaming sun.

As deadly as a poison sting,

Cunning as a fox

Strong as a bear

And quick as a hare.
