Poetry Competition

Dante.jpgThe 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
