Ok, interest was minimum but we are going ahead with it because I said so.
The plan:
the people that said yes, you (if your still in) Will write a poem and submit it to ponder, who kindly said he would judge, Thankyou there ponder. In exactly to weeks from now, ponder will create a topic called “the entries and the winner” and say who has won, and why.
The rules:
the poem must be topical. MUST MUST MUST! For example, a poem about Gordon brown ruining our nation, or the mps claiming for everything they can get there fangs on. Or a positive thing. Must rhyme, and that’s about it!
The small print :
absolutely NO sausages allowed in poems.
That’s all! Have a happy poem writing session!

Re: Poetry comp
only one judge? and why does it have to rhyme? some of the best poetry doesnt rhyme.

Re: Poetry comp
I agree with ratty on the rhyming front.
I would say a poem is better if it doesn't rhyme tbh...but thats just my preference.
Can we have more solid rules before we start? I will suggest a few for you...
1) Maximum word limit of 150 words (1 or 2 above this is fine if you need to finish off a line etc),
2) Minimum word limit of 50 words (likewise 48 would be ok),
3) Must be on current affairs,
4) Must be your own work and not stolen off anyone else,
5) Must be solely your work, no joint efforts here for this one.
how does that seem?

Re: Poetry comp
If you need another judge, I think I can fit it into my schedule
Although it might be nice to have a female judge as well...
