EASTBOURNE, U.K. -- Laurie Wilkinson, The Psychy Poet from Eastbourne, won acceptance into the Great British Write Off for 2014 with his poem, Eye Line Smile, which will be published on 30th November in their book, A Way With Words.

MyVoice Publishing would like to congratulate Laurie on this prestigious achievement.

Laurie has seen a number of his poems published in different places recently. In May he had two different poems published in the Daily Mail while the Eastbourne Gazette also likes his poems, featuring him four times in recent months. All of these poems were from his current book, Poetic Views of Life, which is available from Amazon and good booksellers at just £4.49.

The Eastbourne Herald not only ran a feature on Laurie, but they feature a video of Laurie talking about his book and reading two of the poems, on the Sussex Newspapers website.

Here is Eye Line Smile, please enjoy! It will also feature in Laurie’s next published book, More Poetic Views of Life, which is due for publishing in December 2014, just in time for Christmas!

Eye Line Smile

It doesn't take much to lift a heart

Or cause our soul to swoon.

Just loving words or chaste kiss,

Can lift us round the moon.

Whether eyes are dark or light

They can twinkle and bewitch,

Causing a thrill right through you

As if someone clicked a switch.

Seeing can makes hearts flutter

With pulses racing with a touch.

There is no magic spell for this,

Just that we love so very much.

Contented sighs descend on us

Like some heaven sent cascade.

And nothing will keep us apart,

Even rivers, hill or barricade!

A plain face may cause sunrise

When it breaks into a smile,

And when that beam is loving

Joy will fast flow like the Nile!

Whether eyes are dark or light

They can twinkle and bewitch,

And if they sparkle just for you

Your whole life will enrich.

For in a world that's tough at times

Where you strive hard for reward,

Being drawn to loving eyes

May bring ecstatic life accord!
