This week’s blog post is a poem that recently won Star Gazette Magazine’s Summer Melodies competition in the poetry category, which was really exciting! I was so happy to have my work picked as the winning piece and to be involved with an interesting and inspiring prompt. This poem was largely inspired by the theme of the competition and the idea of nature and love melding together in one beautiful piece. I hope you enjoy it!

Dear Oskar
No, I didn’t just address a blog post to myself – instead, I wrote a letter-poem to myself! This piece is themed around my lockdown experience, with highs and lows of how life has been. It came runner-up in the Telegraph’s Teen Writing Competition and I’m really proud of it.
Summer
Hi there! Are you ready for a super short, super punchy flash fiction piece on summer? If so, here is my entry for writerthreads’ Instagram competiton! It’s a one hundred and fifty word piece of descriptive flash fiction, thinking about the theme of summer (and especially how summer has changed recently). Hope you enjoy it!
Little Lost Lamb
Hello! For today, we’ve got a poem that I wrote for talesfromboredom and writer.joannafreire’s Instagram competition! It’s based on a prompt from oknice which you can find in the competition’s post.
