ENTER: The Tab summer poetry competition
Judge: A retired English teacher. Prize: TBC
Lectures and libraries have stepped aside
In their place stand sangria and summer
Avoid the temptation of staying inside
Or the next few months will be a bummer
If you find yourself bored then listen to me
I have but a humble proposition
To keep your mind sharp and your wit flowing free
Enter our poetry competition
There aren’t any rules, submit what you will
Be it ballad, rap, epic or haiku
So fetch your parchment, your ink and your quill
We’ll publish the best – hey that could be you!
Entries close in August and open today
