Poetry Competition Results (2010)

The poetry competition, for the best 12 line poem about crows, was judged by Gillian Clarke, the National Poet of Wales. James Coghill won the adult class with Storm; and Polly Cox, aged 6, the children's with The Crows’ Feast. Their prizes are invitations to read the poems at the Debenham Arts Festival on June 19.

Storm

Dark pinwheel skittered across the wind ploughed fields-

Headless bird- cocooned with adamant wetness-

You seem a shred of fabric torn from some sad procession-

Or a skein of cloud hacked from this storm that rattles

and rattles with rain and those plump hailstones

That on the upturned flints- clatter, strike sparks

of sky-sloughed water- Blackthorn sharp and Hemlock poisonous-

--glints-- a fang tip of whiteness.

Crow- you that curled up mid-flight to hide within your wings,

That swaddled your head in your softest feathers-

Be stronger- remember- the silk-strength of those feathers:

Uncoil, unwrap those shreds of wings.

James Coghill

The Crows’ Feast

Caw, caw, caw said the crows in a tree

They were looking for something to eat.

With their little eyes that are beady and mean,

They are calling their friends to a feast.

They all fly down to the ground beneath

To peck on the ground with sharp pointy beaks.

As black as coal, their feathers shine,

With claws like a knife.

Caw, caw, caw as they gather up worms,

Then back to the tree they go.

In a big cloud, up in the sky,

Back to their nests up high.

Polly Cox
