Poetry by Dunloy student
14-year-old Emma Kearns, who attends Our Lady of Lourdes in Ballymoney, has submitted the following poem - entitled The Evening Sky - to the Ballymoney and Moyle Times.
A salmon pink in all its glory
Dims to a deep, ocean blue.
The wispy clouds, warped and thin
Vaporise into the world.
A blanket of silver stars laid out,
Bring tears to the eyes of the blind.
Softly twinkling, trying to outshine one another
The golden ball of fury,
Settles deep into the hills.
Contrasting with envy green, it seeps away.
The wan smile of the moon filters out
A trickle of silver light
A carousel of colour.
