November Poetry Competition.
OK, lets see if I can get this done before I lose my internet connection.
We are well into the season of mellow mists and fruitfulness, so it’s too late for that. There is however considerable disgruntlement about political happenings just about everywhere. In spades here because of the thankfully soon to be over presidential election and elsewhere pertaining to potential acts of northern British secession, attack dog behaviour of ex-pat. Welsh antipodean prime ministers, or even the fare dodging antics of Chancellors.
So how about “A modern Guy Fawkes” any length or scheme (but as always, extra points for rumpy pumpy)
By the time judgement day comes around (no not November 5 or 6, let’s make it November 30) at least we here in the US will be free of the pols. until January, when hopefully a freezing cold Washington inaugural may take out some of the weaklings.

Your stiff upper lip is obviously keeping you on track during the big wait. Good luck with it all!
Thanks for the new theme. I’m popping over to old Blighty before the deadline so maybe I can get some local inspiration.
I have a feeling I wrote a sonnet about this very subject some time ago, LW.
I’ll see if I can up with something before the deadline.
Ara: Yes, we did have sonneting on this one a year or two ago (I think Bearsy set that one), but much more worth commenting upon has transpired since.
Yes, it was Bearsy, I believe, LW, but it’s very hard, if not impossible, to think of a theme that hasn’t been done before.
Try transubstantiation!
An excellent subject if you concentrate on the potables!
Christ, Tina, and bloody hell. That subject has been done to death and has been the bread and er butter, or wine, of many poets for centuries. I doubt we would do it justice.
But super theme, or should that be supper.
For ‘gunpowder, treason and plot’ read ‘drone, wikileak and rendition’.
LW, good luck with the oncoming storm.
CO, Nice to see you taking an interest in the poetry competetion. Does this mean the Dream Team can be reunited?
