COMPETITION!! Get involved!!

So, whilst we're in this rhyming mood, we thought, why not everyone join in??

Therefore...

*FANFARE*

we present...

*REPEAT FANFARE*

A Random TGN Poetry Competition!!

(Yes, such an original heading!)


- It can be about nature, sport, music... anything as long as it's poetry.
- It can be funny, sad, poignant, beautiful or startling, it's up to you...
- You just need to send it to me, the Editor, by the 25th of May to have it published on this blog!!! 
- Perhaps you might even become famous when a bored rich poetry patron notices it as they peruse it in passing and decide to commission you to write an ode to go on the plinth of their statue.


So, with such opportunity, how can you resist?!

Get rhyming!! And have fun! :D

P.S. Winning poem will be chosen by anonymous vote and awarded a prize.
 

Lazy by Timothy Ip

Lazy… *I can sleep all day*

It’s morning,

You’re tired,

The clock says six o’clock.

Five more minutes…

Then what you feared –

Alarm in your ears.

Your fist comes down

* Breaking sound *

Bits of clock

On the ground.

Just two more minutes…

Then five…

Then ten…

After twenty, you’re still in bed,

DEAD… to the world,

But alive in dreams

So it seems.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Awake at last –

Need breakfast fast.

But what’s the time?

You go downstairs

It’s half nine – not bad

You look again

It says P.M.

Ahem...

*Coughs*
Pause.
*Coughs again*
Takes a deep breath...

Hello everyone... No no no, wait, just let me explain!

Yes, I know.

You have the right to complain.

TGN hasn't been seen for months.

TGP collapsing fast.

PM gone bust.

Editor could be dust

For all the poor consituents know...

But have no fear!

We are still here!

It's just

Life is mad

Time-wise that is

But to convince you that we still exist...

We bring you a poem*

For you to read

And make you feel better

As you while away the wait

For the next newsletter...


*see next post. This is not the actual poem!
