THE gift of the gab abounds at one Rochford school where pupils came up trumps in a poetry competition.

No fewer than 18 pupils at Doggetts Primary School will be published in a poetry anthology after impressing judges of the Young Writers 2005 poetry competition.

The school, which has only 105 pupils, had winners from every year between the ages of seven and 11.
