Congratulations to Rukshana Aktar 11P and Farjana Begum Kobir 7P who were both commended in the Tower Hamlets Creative Writing Competition 2008. The competition was judged by the author Alan Gibbons, who said that Farjana's poem, The Seal Woman's Secret, "evokes a response from mythic subject-matter." Rukshana read out her poem, The Loan, at the award ceremony, and Alan Gibbons described it as a "confidently structured, telling poem."
The Loan
Having blended the mixture for seven minutes
A smile forms across her face with pride.
Knowing this will change her forever
She begins to apply the paste evenly around.
Slowly moving to the next step
She reaches for the long, cool cucumber slices,
Once again a smile forming across her face.
Placing the second and the last slices
She sighs contentedly.
Oh the tremendous outcome the face mask lends.
