A se'ennight to go

 Funny how the word 'fortnight' survived into modern English, and 'se'ennight' didn't. But you know what it means!

A fortnight left

 The time period, that is, not the computer game. Keep them coming!

Oh to be in England, now that April's there...

Whether your home thoughts are similar or different to Browning's, and wherever you are, April means that the Charm Poetry Competition deadline is nearly here. Keep those entries coming!

Five weeks to go...

 Entries are coming in, but if you haven't managed to submit any poems yet, you still have time!

Llamas

 Seeing the news that a llama needs a name Graves Park llama drama as name sought for new arrival - BBC News reminded us of the inaugural winner of the Charm Poetry Competition. See Charm Poetry Competition: Results of the Competition 2021

Results day

We would like to thank everyone who submitted a poem to this year's Charm Poetry Competition. It's been our largest and most successful year, and, as you can read in the report, it was a challenge for our judge, Jenny Lewis, to select the winners. You can read the winning entries here. 

We are already looking forward to next year's competition, and hope you are too. In the meantime, keep writing!

Time's up

 The Charm Poetry Competition is now closed. We'd like to thank all of you for entering, and for your kind words about how refreshing it is to have a competition dedicated to the lighter side of poetry. It's now over to Jenny Lewis, our judge this year: remember to check back in a few weeks to read the winning entries - it could be yours!
