Poetry competition 2007 – In My Private Place, by Gavin Duly

Highly commended (18 years and over category)

In my private place by the back of the shed,
I have a secret passage behind the prickle bush.
It’s my private place, only the insects can see me.
If my sister comes, I just go to my private place.
In there it’s spooky,
In my private place.
