Hello Poets! Cherry Poets at the Yorkshire Stingo Hotel has got off to a rip-roaring start in the past couple of weeks, and in the spirit of the Old made New again, we're going to revive another grand pub poetry tradition - the competition.

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is this:
- write a short (3 minutes or less) poem contain the phrase 'truly groopled' or 'and I'm truly groopled' within. It could be a nonsense poem, a sound poem, a poem made out of anagrams, a purely naturalistic poem that happens to contain the phrase. It's up to you!

Ok, ok, we realise that nonsense verse or nonsense phrases may not be everyone's thing, and the notice for this one is quite short so:
- for this competition we'll also have a subsidiary open section: just write and perform a new poem that's under 3 minutes.

There'll be prizes (still to be precisely determined). Cash is up for grabs - and chocolate - and more. Watch this space for further announcements. In the meantime, write write write and be sure to come along on the day for what is sure to be an exciting competition!

COST: Free
