London Poetry Contest #1 – First Place
by Harvey Aughton
A flash of red
I know she'll be back
Eviscerated by the cold
North Wales sun
Gone behind the summit
of Moel Famau
Lost to ancient wanderers
Red wings turn dark
Black silhouettes swinging
Over silver hoard seas
Notes: Moel Famau – highest hill in the Clwydian Range in Wales.
