Human Resilience - Poem Challenge

Have you always wanted to try your hand at writing poetry, now is your chance. 

A poem is a composition in verse, especially one that is characterized by a highly developed artistic form and by the use of heightened language and rhythm to express an intensely imaginative interpretation of the subject.

With Christchurch and Japan recently suffering large and life altering earthquakes, we think it is important to celebrate life and the versatility of the people in those areas affected.  We want you to have a go at writing a poem which brings to life the courage and resilience of those who have been affected. 

If you don’t live in those areas, think of some of the stories you've heard - or write about a time in your own life you've had to show resilience
