PrizesA Poem by BethA little free verse drivel I did last year about the feeling of inadequacyIn Year Four I coloured a leprechaun in felt tip pen Put it in a prize draw and won a football. In Year Five I won a little sulphur stickman For having the best yellow outfit on a charity Rainbow Day. Today, in Year Eleven, I watched classmates win trophies And realized the only things I'd ever wonWere footballs and stickmen Treasures for a loser.
