Wonderful Water  

Water,  
Wonderful water,  
Erodes, forbodes,  
Sky mother, ocean daughter.

Water,  
Wonderful water,  
Swirls, contains pearls,  
The cure to many tortures.

Water,  
Wonderful Water,
Life, cutting as a knife,  
Beautiful sea nymph, ocean caught her.

Water,  
Wonderful water,  
Sailors bane, white-horses veins,
Her temper grows ever shorter.

Wonderful water.



Runners up were also recognised for their "good use of sounds and natural phenomena to create atmosphere" and 'good use of an acrostic."


The Malvern Book Cooperative kindly donated the vouchers for this years winner, and these were presented to alongside their certificates.

Ralph's entry will now go on to the District Competion stage and we wish him the best of luck.
