Rose was extremely excited to win the competition and her work now features alongside that of international poets such as Rishi Dastidar, Bruno Gallucio and Janet McAdams.

Rose said: “Sometimes I’ll get poetry ideas and I know I have to write them – this poem was the result of one of these moments. There’s no wrong answer with poetry, which is what I love about it – you can make it up as you go along and it will still be a poem. Anyone can be a poet with a bit of confidence!”
