Biografija Vernona Scannella

Vernon Scannell bio je engleski pisac, pjesnik i vojnik. Rodio se 1922. godine u siromašnoj obitelji. Svoje teško djetinjstvo prenio je na mnoge pjesme koje su imale duboke detalje i značenje. 

Kao mladić se pridružio britanskoj vojsci i borio se u Drugom svjetskom ratu. Scannell je bio poznat po svojoj iskrenoj poeziji koja je istraživala teme kao rat, traume, ljubav, obitelj i ljudski odnosi. Iskustvo rata dovelo je u njegove stihove snagu i introspektivnost, prikazujući njegovo osobno iskustvo i razmišljanja što znači biti čovjek. Neka od njegovih poznatijih djela su „The Masks of Love“ (1960) , „Many Shades“ (1966.) i „Walking Wounded“ (1987.) s kojima je osvojio mnoge nagrade poput Heinemann Award for Literature i Cholmondeley Award. 

Iako je mnogo postigao u književnosti patio je od problema s alkoholom i mentalnim zdravljem kroz cijeli svoj život. Preminuo je 2007. godine ostavljajući trajni doprinos naročito engleskoj književnosti, ističući se po svojoj emotivnosti, iskrenosti, osjetljivosti i introspektivnosti koja je ostavljala dubok dojam na čitatelja.

  Each school has contributed with their own stanza!  OUR CREATED POEM Please Mrs Miller, This girl Susie True Keeps taking my new car, Miss. What shall I do? Dust yourself off,honey, Don't look behind. Always smile,rather Fight against the fright. Please Mrs.Miller. That girl Susie True Doesn't bring her stuff and takes my stuff instead. What shall I do? Hide it in your pocket, dear burn it instead but don't let her know what you keep in your hand Please, Mrs. Miller help me find a way,  Susie’s actions lead to dismay.  She captures moments in a hurtful frame,  Bullying snapshots, tarnishing my name. I understand your distress, my dear,  When Susies hurtful actions appear.  But locking yourself away wont bring relief,  Nor running to the sea, causing more grief. Please Mrs Miller This girl Susie True Keeps taking my pictures What shall I do Miss? Don’t worry, sweetheart Everything will be fine, Keep them in an album! So that she doesn’t cross the line.
