Bird by Simon Armitage Oh small thin flute in your long silver coat, with your sixpence buttons like moon-coloured medals, and your tight little throat and twittering, fluttering, tip-toeing notes. Oh small thin flute, once you’ve been heard you’re no flute: you’re a bird.

129. Adult Handwriting. First prize given by Mrs S Restall “to support a dying art”.

Excerpt from article written by Alison Flood in The Guardian May 2019 The West Yorkshire poet Simon Armitage, a former probation officer who describes his writing as “no-brow”, has been appointed as the UK’s 21st poet laureate. Armitage, who received a phone call from Theresa May offering him the position on Thursday, said his parents cried when he told them the news – he had made them particularly nervous in 1994, when he gave up his day job to become a full-time poet. “I was giving up a profession, a salary, lots of security for something that seemed to them very woolly and uncertain,” he said. “So to be able to go back to them 30 years later and give them this news felt very significant. They just burst into tears. I got a text from my dad later saying ‘We’ve stopped crying now.’ He’s very witty, though, my dad and he added, ‘If your grandad had been alive today, this would have killed him.’”

130. Swaledale Limerick. One verse only. Handwriting not judged, open to both children

& adults. Jill Neill Memorial Cup.

131. Poem by a child attending school. Handwriting not judged, age to be stated.

132. A short story of no more than 500 words about ‘Cycling through Muker’. Entries to be typed on A4 paper. Do not put your name on the story. Note: you do not need to send entries to the secretary. Simply bring your entry on show day as with other classes.
