okay, second poetry comp goes a little like this:
doubtless you have heard of the war poets, owen, yeats, gibson binyon etc... they told of the reality of war, not the glorious affair that many mistook it for.
your challenge is to mimick their writing styles and beliefs and create a piece that is entirely original yet could have easily come from the 1st or 2nd world war.
below are a few links you may find useful, each contains a well known war poem:

the competition is entirely open ended with length and words that must be included so feel free to experiment with different styles.
the closing date is saturday the 22nd of august.
good luck!
