• Each of you can award each group with
either 1,2,3 or 4 marks depending on
perceived quality. You may not give 2

Bratislava poem:
A kiss was memory
Ebbing, passing as the tide
Of tears.
Her lament forcing a prayer
To destroy the love
Intoned to a sickle moon by
The swash of the tide.
On her island in the
Violet humidity of her love,
Her intention tears with
Sweat interlinked tears.
A rush to destroy
Intention;
As a pebble in the tide.
