Some comments from our judge...!

There was a high standard of work. The poetry and prose was full of beautifully desciptive use of imagery and evocative story telling. It was throughly enjoyable to listen to everybody's work.

I hope poetry and creative writing will always be an enjoyable part of people's lives.

It was nice to hear the imagination and humour in so many of the pieces, plus the use of rythm and sounds in the delivery of the poems.

Excellent work everyone!

James - Wonderful use of words, images and sounds. It made me smile every time I listen to it.

Alex-Beautifully descriptive and evocative.

Regan - Honest, deep and reflective. Beautifully written.

Special mention to Shane and Sam - Fun, upbeat performance of a nicely observed piece of writing.
