The Last Wish
Lawrence Hart, The Hereson School
(Winner Y10)

As the rain-sodden, shrivelled old man stroked his hand gun at the foot of his daughter's magnificent grave, he reminisced about her final wish: for her deceitful husband to be murdered.  The old man couldn't bear this weight on his shoulders, so he turned purposefully towards the town's gloomy streets.

Lying in my bed, the sun in my eyes
Sat up watching the sun rise

To fly so gracefully up high

Kieran Haines, The Marlowe Academy

I'm in a forest, with my bow hurdling over ridged sticks and smooth stones.  I see a bear almost throwing itself at me.  I raise my bow, wield my quiver ... trembling, it's so tall, it seems upon me, the arrow is fired, the bear topples downwards, streaming with blood.

Phoenix elegant golden feathers floating in air, feathers glimmering in the beautiful night sky, shining like stars.

Dragon scaly wings blasting raging balls of fire.  Phoenix replied with the same with a flash gone ... never knowing who won..........
