Poetry Competition
The 2010 Poetry Competition showcased an amazing mixture of poems that caught the imagination. Many captivating and original poems took our breath away and lead us on a journey that was moving and inspirational. An array of topics were covered in infinite detail through rhyme and free verse causing us to laugh and occasionally dab away a few tears.
The top twenty poems were selected by the judge Steve Tasane, who shares his own comments, but ultimately the winners were chosen by the public, and they are:
First place: Dennis Duncan McGonagall at the Albion Halls, Glasgow
Second place: Afric McGlinchey Fish Plates and Star Jumps
Third place: Kaddy Benyon Easter
This year's Lucky Voter who wins £100 for voting for their favourite poem is: Elinor Cleghorn
