A little creative writing for once. It's done in a bit of a hurry, and it's possibly very bad, but I'm pleased with it under the circumstances.
The "brief" was to write a short poem for the Smile For London campaign, which puts up adverts in tube stations to cheer up commuters - starting on the so-called saddest day of the year.
I'm waiting to hear if my poem is selected, and if so, what visuals they'll put with it. Anyway, here goes.
Find a London Victoria train
That passes over Coldharbour Lane.
Just at the apex of the track
Look left, and you'll be looking back
To own the parks, the homes, the streets
Where stories start and moments meet,
To declare your victory foursquare -
A second's term as London Mayor.
I'm an occasional freelance copywriter, but mostly a student at the School of Communication Arts in London. Previously an Account Manager at a small design agency, where I started writing copy and thinking up headlines and slogans. In fact, I've been writing all my life, but it never occurred to me I could make a living from it this way. So now I'm giving it a go.
