Winning Poems in the Beckenham Library Valentines Poetry Competition

Congratulations to 11 year old Jessica Lloyd and Mrs Dervish who won the the children’s and adult Beckenham Library Valentines Poetry Competition.

I Love You So Much Little Nephew
I love you so much little Nephew
But it feels like I never get to see you,
We may be separated in real life
Although I will never forget you,
You will be in my heart
Although not in sight.

We could be on different planets,
In separate worlds,
Or even different universes
You may not know it,
But you wiII be in my heart
Although not in my sight.

We are family, we both know that,
So we won’t always get along, that is fine with me,
But we try to work things out
Due to separation
So you will always be in my heart
Although not always in sight

I love you so much little Nephew
But it feels like I never get to see you,
We may be separated in real life
Although I will never forget you,
You will be in my heart
Although not in sight,
You will always be in my heart
Although not in sight.

My Valentine

You opened the page
of my life and
like a book
that read the moment of
each feeling and
like a coloured silk thread
you spun a picture
that made a story
turn into love.
