Fro m t he E dito r Hello everyone!

Welcome to the February/March issue of the SWWJ JOURNAL. It’s been a long time coming, but I hope you enjoy this bumper issue of the Journal. Sadly, we cannot hold our usual Prize Giving event this March, so this issue includes all the results from the 2020 competitions, plus the results of this year’s Elizabeth Longford Rose Bowl poetry competition. In addition, on page 29 you will find details of the latest Winner Takes All competition.

It is also that time of year to start thinking about subscription renewals. Please see our notice on page 7.

Stay safe and well, and happy reading!

Barbara

“Reading through all the entries for the first time, I was immediately impressed by the high standard of the writing, and fascinated to see the variety of ways in which entrants had interpreted the theme.

What stood out for me on that first and subsequent readings of the entries was the skill with which many of the entrants had so vividly brought a character to life, created a particular atmosphere, or used an unexpected twist in their story to great effect – not an easy thing to do in just the two hundred and fifty words allowed by the competition. There was an immediacy about many of the entries that made me think the writer had first-hand knowledge of the particular aspect of showbusiness they had chosen to write about, whether it was an amateur show or an audition – if not, they had certainly done their research,”e Ft.scnsf/Mnsmle2021

Elizabeth Godfrey and Hester Bateman produced some of the finest silverware of the eighteenth century. Retailers often obliterated the maker’s mark before sale, but the writer is keen they secure the recognition they deserve.

WINN ER: Lockdown Without my pupils, I am not a teacher.

Without a companion, I do not speak.

Without men’s glances, I do not know if I am beautiful.

Without a haircut, I do not even look like myself.

Without being addressed, I have no name.

There is only the dumb furniture which I should probably dust. © Dorothy Pope Judges comments: “Beautifully distilled. It was the shortest poem in my reading pile and indeed, there is not a spare word in it. On a first excursion, it appears almost too plain, but on subsequent readings, it starts to yield some profound insights relating to the now common experience of living alone in lockdown. This poem's structure is based Ft.scnsf/Mnsmle2021

SWWJ Poetr y Com pe t it i on winner s on repetition, just as lockdown is often repetitive…We are left with that somehow tragic (and surprising) almost throw-away last couplet where the clearly inanimate furniture, which has always been voiceless,

is anthropomorphised as 'dumb'. We know she won't dust it - and here, with this pleasingly open-ended close, we can almost imagine the speaker shrugging her shoulders and quietly exiting the room,”

Judges comments: “A touching dramatic monologue spoken by a mother with dementia to her visiting daughter. Form and content work in beautiful synergy as the poem's altered repetitions circle round and round and the speaker attempts different routes to try and make sense of a world where past and present are melting together and shape-shifting. Memories slip, time becomes unreliable, the facts keep changing. There are cleverly realised moments of lucidity and moments of confusion,” Continued on page 32

T HIR D: Chill January on the embankment path Daylight still tints the long-demolished track.

The lowering sun picks out and pales the trunks of birch trees with their wide mascaraed eyes.

It lights the frayed remains of old man’s beard which scramble though the rusting vines and gilds the under plumage of a whistling kite, that turns and quarters darkening fields below.

It silhouettes the burdock plants which hold dry sticky burrs, like ghosts of summer flowers, a last repast for starved seed eating birds, the hawthorn berry larders raided bare..

Dilapidated nests hang thrawn* in trees, as empty as the church. Here gargoyles guard.

They’ve known and weathered pestilence before. © Margaret Gallop (*msaa tuvewrhhlnbti)

Judges comments: “A subtly rhymed sonnet in which the poet takes us for a walk, vividly describing the colours and desolate beauty of winter... We understand that nature is resigned to the seasonal changes of light and dark and it seems that this is the main thrust of the poem.

But no… Suddenly, the centuries are laid out in front of us, the poet offers us a longer view than we ever imagined and brings us up short in the present moment: Covid and lockdown.” sthacsmthegaseoltehmlaadhverimdcuripen gascweyltsteoltencolasebahtheqcthoraih gaseoltehocutioheoaemawwtioeai,eIoeynh .srddrnioe.triperieoacmleyroledrotsnddf lciustuheagestnutsh,eSawtenhegnsengrtduenh PtsceniueMtxrma,e Tltencolasendhaelnhene2-lacsehdaoejchoebsras oaeroeparipedrktetnmleytt eyltsteoltfeua niencuraestmasurip,eAe.roeosrm feyltieolno’h olteiaswndeorwtegaseon ripeolteuapeynd rth!

January The drab sky wears a uniform of greys.

Below, in ridged and stone hard, frozen ground no scarlet petticoats of petals found that flirt their frills from hems of summer days' green skirts. Now, naked hedgerow's thorned embrace elbows the robin as he shouts his bounds.

In chilling winds, torn rags of tattered clouds are dragged, dull streamers, through the wintry skies.

The stoic oak withstands the piercing cold, moss stockinged trunk, enduring branches bare.

The thin fox trims his pride and eats from plate of put out bread and scraps, no longer bold, in humble gratitude accepting fare.

The earth and all its kind hold fast and wait.
