Happiness Poetry competition Winner Announced

Filed under

We would like to thank everyone who entered the Print Express poetry competition. It was a difficult decision making a final choice as all of the poems we received were of a high quality.

We are pleased to announce this year’s Happiness theme poetry competition winner is:

Happiness By Becky Spicer

 

If there was such a thing as a happiness tree,

I'd plant a seed for you and me,

Over time it would grow as wide and high,

As a 'little white lie',

It would blossom in spring with brightly coloured flowers,

Bursting of fragrances that could never go sour,

And our eyes would glitter at its lush beauty and hope,

Which when times got tough helped us cope,

And those losses were softened by the new leaves,

That would whisper of fresh starts I dared to believe,

 

So our smiles stayed big, laughing and strong,

You held my hand and softly sang a folk song,

I closed my eyes with the sweet sounds around me,

And I could've stayed like that forever quite happily.

 

Congratulations Becky!

Thank you once again to all the entrants.

Poetry Competition Winner Announced

Filed under

Thank you everyone who entered our competition, the quality of the work was amazing. After careful consideration the winner of this month’s poetry competition is:

 

Lubna Safi!

 

"I have walked far,

traveling from eye to eye

still I found nowhere to contain me.

 

My friend has walked farther

opened closed doors,

climbed through open windows

and felt nowhere could contain her.

 

I have tasted honey

after the bee’s sting.

Folded pages to match

the words I saw floating.

 

Through open doors I peaked

saw chairs with five legs,

and fires burning blue

the night greeted me like an old friend.

 

Our matches lasted the winter

tore through days of silence.

And the sparks reminded us:

everything has a beginning."

 

Congratulations!

 

Here are the details of our runners up:

- Kathryn Higgins with Risk

- Katie Mitchell with Catch

- Ben Teuten with My Sanctuary

- Aaastha Pharasi with First Light

- Jenna Atkinson with This Skin

 

We will be holding competition for writers every month so please keep checking back! Thanks again everyone!
