And The Winner Is.......( Left Coast Eisteddfod Poetry Competition- Welsh Language Category )

[Ceri Shaw]

Adjudication by John Good Cadwyn yw’r isdeitl ar “Hanes” a chadwyn ydy hi, gyda’r dolenni (cysylltiau) rhwng y geiriau, yn dibynnu ar ba eiriau yr ydych chi’n dewis eu clymu'i gilydd, yn newid yr ystyr(on). Yr oeddwn yn awgrymu cyfieithiadau am y rhestr, ond mae’n lan i chi wneud y gwahanol gadwyni! A Chain is the subtitle of this poem and that’s what it is. With the links (connections) between the words, depending on which words you choose to tie together, changing the meaning(s). I have suggested translations for the list but its up to you to make the different chains! Hanes (gan Elizabeth Barrette) – a chain poem had (seed) hoedl (life) haf (summer) hamdden (recreation) hedd (peace) haddef (home (to confess?)) her (challenge) helbul (turmoil) hin (weather) hyder (confidence) haul (sun) hyfrydwch (delight) hil (race/lineage) hydref (Autumn/Fall/October) hewl (road/way) hiraeth (longing/homesickness) henc (limp) hebryngydd (conductor/conveyor) heth (severe cold weather) hanesydd (historian) Congratulations/Llongyfarchion to Elizabeth Barrette and honorable mentions to Tam Ryan and Johnny Jones.
