<whispers> Over here! World Poetry Day contest this way..

congratulations to Angel2 and RickNanny . All three poems involving GD's

Well done all three.

Well done winners, they were my favourites too

Congrats Gally you must be over the moon well done sweet x x

I think I would also like to say well done to everyone else, I am glad I did not have to be The Judge, because it would have been very hard.

The talent was truly amazing, I think xx

It's been lovely to read them all.

My Mum (80) and my Dad (85)
are fit and well and still alive.
My Dad keeps well out of the way,
when Mum wants to have her say,
they both eat fruit and greens and this is how they thrive.

Gally Very well done. How lovely for you. Big ((hugs)) from me to you.

A lovely thread, thank you.Special to Gally( now featuring on Gransnet Facebook page!)

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Well done Gally what beautiful sentiments.

Where do you find the result please?

It's a bit further down the thread (or up it, depending on how you read the thread). In a CariGransnet green box.

I loved your haiku by the way Angel2. I keep going back and reading it.

what a moving piece this is , I read it and moved on thinking it was so sad but then found i was coming back to it and identifying so strongly with it and understanding our shared humanity thankyou

Thank you everyone. I was very surprised but really delighted to hear the result especially as the poem came out in a bit of a rush from nowhere. I think I was feeling a little emotional about one thing and another that day congratulations to everyone who entered fantastic poems

Gally - Well done. That echoes how lots of us feel

So beautiful

Only just caught up with this thread. Well done to all who entered, but yes, Gally would have got my vote too. Beautiful.

Can you help me please?

I wrote a poem at the time of the "whisper" poetry competition.

I didn't save it before it disappeared! I have the first four lines before it "cyber-ed" It is called - " my grand daughter", and has about another 3 or 4 verses following this! I'm not very good at IT, and I've spent hours trying to find it!
Thank you friends.

When she was but a tiny child
I loved her from the start,
Her beautiful brown eyes
of me, became a part!
