    I'm away for a couple of weeks in a couple of days but I thought I would kick off a poetry competition and post the poems when I get back.

    The challenge is to either create a magical or made up creature or write about an existing magical or mythical creature. In any situation
    that you like the more obscure the better.

    It can be any theme from humorous or dark a love story or adventure. Rhymed or free verse but it must have no more than five stanzas. So a pretty broad canvas.
    Please let me know if you are interested in attempting the challenge because for judging its nice to have at least five poems to judge.

    Best wishes Milly x

    Send them to you & they'll be judged anonymously when you post them?

    Sorry Larry yes that's what I meant. I think it's more exciting for people to judge when they don't know who it is that wrote it.

    1. Send in submissions to me by midnight Saturday 22nd June
    2. I will post the poems anonymously either Sunday evening or on the Monday 24th for voting..
    3. Same voting principle as your recent competition First, Second and third
    4. Votes all in by Sunday 30th June for publication Monday 1st July

    Milly! Why didn’t you post this contest before I wrote my mythical creature poems! Haha. I go on holiday at the end of the weekend so I’ll try but I can’t promise I’ll be able to write anything brilliant.

    Cool idea by the way
