Winning poems from the recent Poets Day event held in Ashton

My mum is the best

Words can’t express how I feel
No matter what I do
You’re always there for me
When I am down
And that’s why I love you so much
You gave me a happy life
Where I live with a brilliant mum like you
If I say everything to you it will go on forever and ever
Roses are red violets are blue
I love you, you’re the best mum

Mum at work

My heart beats because of you,
You gave me a family and a friend too
Lost for words would describe how I feel
Some days our love just doesn’t seem real
We fight and moan but it’s just what we do
Just proves that a family in frustration is a family that we knew.
You do everything to protect me but I just want to be free
I love you loads as much as my best friend that shows our bond will never end.

Shoalstone Beach

Sitting on shoal stone beach
Brixham within easy reach
The sound of tides, gentle waves
The touch of flat stones nearby
Where I’ll sit and write if the breeze behaves.

Written by Thora Beddard

If I Could Change The World

If I could change the world I would
Give an I phone to everyone
Banish school altogether
Give everyone a million pound to spend on what they want
I would banish Justin Bieber and bring back Freddy Mercury
I would start my own record company and ban old late 20th century phones and ban writing by hand.
