The Duet

It’s a blustery evening that meets our man
As he rushes to catch his train
It’s been a fruitless and tiresome day at work
And it’s lashing down with rain

Drenched and disheveled, he tumbles aboard
And is met with a sea of frowns
“There’s as...

Beyond the White Gate

In the West Country deep, down a quiet narrow lane
A haggard white gate stood in shame
For its task was to guard a disgraceful event
That was due to take place on that day

Beyond the white gate was a brown muddy track
That led to an old dairy...

The Tumultuous Soup

A tumultuous soup I find myself in
A bubbling broth, hostile and hot
I pull myself up, clinging onto the brim
Only to slip back down into the pot

I battle to reach the froth at the top
But alas, relief is not found
My head in a bubble,...

Sam & Fred

As Sam slept in silk sheets on a mattress of feathers
An afternoon nap was his blissful endeavour
His mouth gaping wide, he snored like a train
As he gladly embraced, the unconscious domain

But with one foot aboard, the boat bound for dreams

Clovelly

Hard craggy rocks soften with shine
The street tempts further a storied decline
Sledges wait ready to carry and cart
For this is the way here in these parts

Trees and cliffs encourage us down
Combined they adorn the village it’s crown
And...

Congratulations to Jordan on a fantastic win!
And congratulations to all on the list.
I echo what Randy said, it is an honour to be part of the competition.
I wasn’t writing at all this time last year and now it is a very important part of my life.
The community is so supportive . I’d like to give a special mention to John (Vixility). His encouragement is a huge reason that I continued to write after my first entry. And I know he has done the same for many others.
Thank you to the poetry team and the soulful, warm and super-talented community.
