Isolation Poetry Competition
Isolation Poetry Competition
Congratulation to Eulalia Terra Theodoro for winning first place in the Year 9 and 10 Isolation Poetry Competition (Term 3) which was open to Southland students years 1-10. The competition celebrated International Literacy Day, and students wrote a poem about their isolation experience from earlier in the year.
Isolation
At the table, I sit
Surrounded
Yet,
Alone
I read,
I watch,
I hear
Information comes in
Suffocating me
Taking over my thoughts
“Stay in”, they say
So I stay put
Drowning in my own solitude
Nowhere to go
No escape
So I speculate,
I foresee,
I foreshadow,
I wait
At the table,
I sit
Surrounded
Yet,
Alone
