We were all delighted to hear the news that George, a Year 7 pupil, has been awarded a certificate of merit by the Young Writers organisation. His poem which is shortly to be published in the Young Writers’ Anthology is a remarkably sophisticated piece. The sentiment of the poem reflects the importance we attribute at Lynn Grove Academy to ‘being kind to each other and ourselves’ Congratulations to George who tells us that he is continuing to work on writing poetry.
Maître de la langue
There dwells a weapon in each and every one of us
It’s a gift that brings destruction
Or a gift that brings peace
It’s a gift that forms allies
And a gift that makes foes
A gift who can cause corruption
And a gift that flowers purity
It’s a gift which once you master
Can grant you freedom
I shan’t tell you how
Nor what it is
Because what you do with it is your responsibility
It’s a fire which you let spread
Or a fire that you control
But never to put out
