Dia duit...
This contest's about Ireland.
So give me your BEST poems about Ireland/Irish culture/anything Irish. We'll judge, and award points
Usual rules.
As little swearing/erotica as possible. Feck /is/ allowed...it's Ireland xD
No political poems whatsoever. None. Got it? I don't want to read about the IRA or Provos, not even disguised in poetic form. Occasional references are fine. I draw the line at overtly political poems. So, just don't go there
Rule breakers will be removed, and an IM sent explaining why... Please read and reply to it, either to me (who is practically on 24/7) or Aingael (who isn't always on), between us, we'll sort it out
Also, put 'in ainm De' in the rules so we know you've followed them.
Best of luck
