WIRRAL poets are being encouraged to enter their verses into a national anthology competition.
One poet will represent Wirral in the book. Entry to the competition is free and the Wirral winner will get a free copy of the book. The overall winner receives £1,000.
"The National Poetry Anthology is designed to encourage new writers," said its editor Peter Quinn. "It's now the biggest free-to-enter annual poetry contest in the UK.
"We picked 217 town winners last year but we want the new edition to include a winner from every town and village in the circulation area of the Wirral Globe. So far we haven't had enough entries from the area to achieve that."
To enter send three unpublished poems, on any subject (up to 20 lines and 160 words each) to United Press, Admail 3735, London, EC1B 1JB by the closing date of June 30. Enclose a loose stamp for a reply.
Well, I'm still too distraught after recent events to get beyond the first line.
Which is: "I really quite liked that young Justin"
