Poems On The Rye - Award Winners

Our HGAED Poetry Competition for the end of 2022 was on the theme of ‘Home’. We had dozens of entries with many of them published on the HGAED Poetry Instagram Page ‘Poems on the Rye’ and put on display around the school.

The standard was excellent once more as we approach our two-year anniversary of poetry at HGAED, with almost 250 published poems during that time.

The winners for the competition were:

  • Carmen for ‘London’
  • Azariah for ‘Family Tree’
  • Bhavitra for ‘Book of Wonders’
  • Guinevere for ‘Doorways of Life’
  • and Zoe Horgan for ‘Paradise’.

You can read all the winners below and well done to all participants!
