Well! It has been a few months since I have last been inspired to write a new blog entry. It has been so utterly quiet at work today and by 9am this morning I had seen everything I wanted to online. Fast forward to this afternoon and I spot a Serbian/English poetry competition on the Britic site (British-Serbian online magazine). Having experimented with poetry I thought I might put it out there a bit, although I dare say I am far from experienced and that seems to be a pre-requisite in this competition. Gahhhh! What have I got to lose? I may be a little unrefined...but what I have is mine, it's me and it's unique. I don't have to base my poetry on some pompous-headed words-worth (no pun intended). I have until 20th December to hand in up to 4 entries, at a cost of £3 each. If you also wish to participate, here is the link: http://www.ebritic.com/?p=215336 Do make sure to read the flyer and terms and conditions before submitting as there are rules to follow regarding safeguarding your identity for a fair result.
I'll spend the rest of my afternoon letting the words flow, but I shall not force anything. I sometimes find that the best poetry is organic, free-floating words that somehow bind together to sense an atmosphere or emotion. Enough with the confusion- lets just be us.
I've uploaded some of my old poems after this post, if you care to comment please do. It'll be nice to receive some thoughts of which one I should submit.
