Poetry Corner

Welcome to Poetry Corner. Whether you enjoy the lyrical waxings of Byron, Shelley and Keats or prefer the more modern musings of Andrew Motion and Roger McGough this is the place for you.

Check out works by some of Swindon’s resident wordsmiths or if you fancy yourself as a budding poet laureate send us your own poem. The best of them will be published in the Adver.

If you need some inspiration, why not check out some famous poems.

You can also discuss your favourite poems, poets and anything else poetical in the on-line forum - click here.
