Hello all. This is a final reminder for the BITING THE BULLET competition. It closes next Thursday Sept 30^th then voting by email will take place till the 5^th October.

 

All is explained in the original blog, at

If you are new to the site, please do consider having a go. Lots of people have done so (far more than I expected) so you will be in good company.

 

The list so far. Not everyone has tagged their poem, despite Cynthia's plea, so please shout if you've been missed.

Given the number of entries, I'll include a mention of who came 2^nd and 3rd and we'll have comments too, like Isobel used to do with WOLOP. Some of the poems are too good not to be picked up on, even if they don't win. In fact it's been amazing to see the quality of what people have written. After Pandora's Box and this, I do hope we can carry on with something of this kind. Seems to work best when it's not too organised and follows a happy impulse.
