Green House won this year’s eisteddfod with a massive 252 points, closely followed by Blue, Yellow and Red Houses.
Rhys Bridge was chaired the Bard with his winning poem, My Head is Numb.
My head is Numb from the heat my helmet’s gathered
I hear a firing squad in the distance
Probably for the French Resistance
I see the blue sea and white sand
Covered in debris of crashed bombers
My feet are sore and bruised from marching
My hands sweaty from holding my rifle
The rations are getting worse
My once strong body is now thin and weak
The barbed wire is like a barrier
Stopping me from helping the screaming men
Whose bodies are being burrowed into my bullets
“HELP!!! HELP!!!”
These are the words that pierce my heart
Yet I do nothing, nothing, nothing.
My body is no longer mine
My sucked out soul is long gone
I’m as empty as an oyster’s shell
As empty as the pits of Hell.
Rhys Bridge
