National Poetry Day
Residents swap verse with local children
A day to celebrate and encourage all to enjoy, discover and share poetry. With that in mind, residents decided ahead of the day to write poems about their favourite things and to share their favourite poets and poems.
They wanted to collaborate with a local school for this event - once all of their poems were written up, residents sent them over to St John's School for the pupils to enjoy.
Later in the month residents enjoyed reading poems that the pupils had written and shared with them.
Everyone hopes that next year they can all get together in person to share their mutual love of language.
