Poetry competition and Wokingham celebration
Work may not always inspire poetic thoughts but for anybody creative enough to produce a couplet about their computer or an ode to an office will be in with a chance to win a poetry competition being run by Wokingham Borough Council.
Even if your idea of work is more wasteland than host of golden daffodils, there is room for your efforts in the competition and entries can be handed in at any Wokingham Borough library before the closing date of Friday October 3.
The winner will be announced a Poetry Celebration event at Wokingham Library on Thursday October 16, when the winning poem will be put on display.
Wokingham Borough Council executive member for community development Cllr Dianne King said: “Poems on the theme of work should produce some interesting thoughts and I am looking forward to seeing them.”
The Poetry Celebration will be at Wokingham Library from 6.30pm to 8pm and will feature readings from local poets, Victoria Pugh, Susan Utting and Ian House - all of whom have had collections published by Two Rivers Press - and Martin Haslam, who won last year’s poetry competition.
Places at the poetry celebration must be booked in advance and to confirm a place call the library on 0118 978 1368.
