the Spiral peace challenge

The Gift of the Brave

By Teresa Brady

Age: over 22



Hate, like a river in full spate;

Flows relentlessly.

Hate, like a dungeon or prison gate;

Will never set you free.

Hate is a bottomless pit;

An endless void; a grave.

Hate is the act of a coward;

But love, is the gift of the brave.

The Spiral Poetry for Peace Competition 2007 is now closed. Over 350 entries were received, and the winning poem will be used as the theme page for a new interactive online peace campaign designed by Bluhalo, one of UK's leading digital design and build agencies. The winning poem will be annouced on the 21st of September. In the meantime, check out these poems which we thought were worth mentioning. We will be uploading poems daily to this section, so come back often to read the poems and celebrate Peace through Poetry.
