Ventnor Carnival Poetry CompetitionAll entries to the competition are displayed in the Library and well done to everyone who entered – we enjoyed them all!

Here’s the winning poem.

Tell me
Was that a pirate I saw you with last night
Did he have a cutlass? Was he gong to fight?
Did he show a swagger? Did he treat you rough?
Did he stay up drinking ’til he’d had enough?

Yes, that was a pirate you saw me with last night.
His cutlass was of cardboard, no need to take a fright.
Could be that there were others in costumes of disguise.
For Carnival means fun time, we dress up, win a prize
