· The hope of peace
· The courage of soldiers
· The innocence of children
· From someone else’s point of view
· What it's like to have a family member in active service
· Write for Remembrance Day
Poems can be written or typed, and there is no line or word limit - let creativity and expression flow!
Poems could be published in a special poetry book about war and peace. Plus, Young Writers' favourite poets will also win a prize!
The power of your words can make a difference, it's time to share children and young adults' messages about these important subjects and make the reader stop and think. Lest We Forget.
