Remembrance Poetry Competition

We are extremely pleased and proud to announce that some of our students have been recognised as highly commended poets in this year’s Harrow Mayor’s poetry competition.

Dylan Veysey (7JHP), Amba Davison (8AJR) and Zahraa Al-Jameel (12BRS) were this year’s entrants in the competition.

Dylan did brilliantly and was ‘Runner Up’ in the Key Stage 3 category with his poem  ‘Remembrance Day’ whilst Amba won this category with her poem ‘Where The Flowers Grow’.

Zahra’s poem, ‘Black Sun’, won the Key Stage 5 category.

Amba and Zahra were awarded ‘Highly Commended’ and were invited to the Mayor’s reception on Remembrance Sunday.

Well done to you all.

 

Where The Flowers Grow

 

I know a place where the flowers grow

Delicate and beautiful all in a row

They hold secrets we’ll never know

I know a place where the flowers grow

 

Wooden crosses stand proud and still

These boys never wanted to kill

They left the comfort of the hill

Wooden crosses stand proud and still

 

Generations have come and gone

Yet the light in our hearts shine on

The fallen will never be forgotten

Generations have come and gone

 

I’d like to go where the flowers grow

For there I’ll see a light that glows

Fathers, brothers, sons now low

I’d like to go where the flowers grow
