OK, that was pretty bad. I think, though, that there's just enough alliteration in the last verse to betray someone who actually does write poetry.

A BTT for a great contest. I promise an entry later.

Cool!

Your'e welcome to post it here or in the comments section at Conclub - we're going to submit in a batch. And naturally you can email it direct to the Crack Young Staff.

Another excresence from ConClub:

Vegetarian Predator
By The Hairy Beast

(1) She stands on the quad or
the quad stands on her. They march
by
They see but they don’t see
all that I see.
Why should they?

They don’t know her.

(2) The wind tumbles the sheet across the tar
Stained with tears of rain.
Red and black black and red. It flips and flops.

The face of the hope we wait for.

3) She tapes another to the wall
of the student union. It tries to stick
It clings
Then is rejected like the other.

Gives itself to the fickle wind.

4)And the others walk on indifferant.
But I see.
And I know her.

She is the we we are waiting for.
