I am so very nice
April 21, 2015
Why that self praise? I am about to share the details of a wonderful poetry prize currently on offer with all readers:
http://www.canberra.edu.au/about-uc/competitions-and-awards/vcpoetryprize
First prize is $15,000 for one poem of up to 50 lines, and entry is $20. It is open to everyone in the world who writes English and has a credit card with at least $20 left on it. That may exclude quite a number of poets, admittedly, but a few may qualify. There’s a bit over a month before the prize closes. Obviously, there will be quite a few entries!
Pick up pen, tablet or crayon and write. Or enter a poem that you have been too lazy to send in to a journal. Do it or be beaten by this rabbit:
I am hoarding a poem for the competition like Gollum with the Ring. It just requires a bit more polishing.
Good luck!
PS Cottier 
Certainly a generous prize!
And open to all countries, too, Helen.
Wow, amazing. And yes, you ARE nice. But not just because of this post.
Thank you Michelle. This comment gives me the opportunity to use a word I have never used before, except in regard to oysters…
Shucks.
You should enter, if you have time to write a poem.
So very nice 🙂
Blushing, she nods…
