Previous poetry competition winners
Over the years we have received some fantastic entries ranging from deeply romantic poems to wonderfully tongue-in-cheek humour.
One of the lovely things about the competition is that everyone gets to enjoy the creativity of the entries submitted. Visitors can browse the poems and vote for their favourites.
Here is part of the winning poem from Laura Newbould-Jones, our 2013 competition winner.
The world is my fish finger; meat balls the spice of life,
Certainly food for thought, soon becoming your wife.
Love is my vitamin, my fruit and my veg,
Snuggies are my coco-pops; cuddles my potato wedge.
Life is like a banquet, on which to feast and gorge,
The food of love is plenty, and in this relationship we forge.
Trusting like a Sunday roast,
As comfy as hot buttered toast.
Happiness like strawberries and cream,
Lemon meringue... we’re living the dream.
If long life is the key,
Then I want my milk to be UHT.
Add zest like lemon and twist like lime,
There our ingredients, it will last over-thyme.
Like roasting chestnuts by the open fire,
Like hot soup on a winter’s day,
Sweet and fluffy like a bar of Milky Way.
Preheat the oven... turn up the heat,
Let’s cook up a relationship that’s good enough to eat.
