Jordan Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 There was a bit in the Shetland Times recently about a poetry compilation to be done on the theme of 'North'. I'm wondering if anyone can remember where submissions should be sent to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyVocoustic Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 do you have a quality threshold? I could spout some sharn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomblands Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 My poem (well, stolen from someone else) about jellyfish - I don't like jellyfish They're not a fish, they're just a blob They don't have eyes, fins or scales Like a cod They float around blind Stinging people in the seas And no-one eats jellyfish with chips and mushy peas Get rid of 'em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachy Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 There's no quality threshhold for submissions - you can send any old rubbish you want to - but it might not get published. I did like the jellyfish poem, though it's not quite 'on subject' is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjool Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 There's no quality threshhold for submissions - you can send any old rubbish you want to Ok then... here's a tedious piece of doggerel that I scratched together in a few spare minutes last night, on the subject of 'North'. I drifted off-topic a bit (as appears to be my modus operandi) : It's grim up north, or so they say,for what it's worth, I disagree.Bad weather? Yes, I will admit,the summer can be somewhat turd.But we have things to compensatefor summer sunshine, often late: Dramatic seas and wildlifeA bracing breeze and starry nightsOpen spaces, rolling hills...Hang on...scratch that, add windmills. It seems that things wont be so neatonce Viking power finds its feetFor soon the views we so admirewill be obscured by bits of wire;Looming, metal, robotic treesspinning in the freezy breeze. A source of wealth for Shetland's shoreBut scenery?Quoth the council, "Nevermore". (with apologies to Theodore Geisel and EAP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
