  Poetry Competition winning entry
02/07/2010

 

Entries, most of which were of a very high standard, were received from Primary Schools across the borough. These were judged and allocated 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize.
 
Winning Entry ‘The Parties at Night’ written by Alexander Clarke from Kells and Connor Primary School:
 
Parties are annoying they go on through the night,
Sometimes they can even last, from darkness until light,
I try to sleep I try so hard,
But I can hear the music that is coming from the yard.
 
Through sleepless nights I try to sleep
As I try to tackle the endless beat
Awake at night the music roars
But other people they just snore
As I myself I try to rest
And continue to sweat in my bed vest
 
Toss and turn and cover my ears
While they all sit and drink their beers
All this time I try to fight
My endless streak of sleepless nights
 
Runner-up ‘Noise Pollution’ written by Rachael Chesney, Longstone Primary School.
 
Highly Commended ‘The Barking Dog’ written by Rebekah McKay, Ballykeel Primary School
