Results day

We would like to thank everyone who submitted a poem to this year's Charm Poetry Competition. It's been our largest and most successful year, and, as you can read in the report, it was a challenge for our judge, Jenny Lewis, to select the winners. You can read the winning entries here. 

We are already looking forward to next year's competition, and hope you are too. In the meantime, keep writing!

Time's up

 The Charm Poetry Competition is now closed. We'd like to thank all of you for entering, and for your kind words about how refreshing it is to have a competition dedicated to the lighter side of poetry. It's now over to Jenny Lewis, our judge this year: remember to check back in a few weeks to read the winning entries - it could be yours!

Getting close...
