Submission time for this period’s competition has come and gone.
The rules weren’t too taxing, any genre to include at least one African place name or personality.
We had three entries and I enjoyed each and every one (as I always do.)
Araminta’s submission continued the woes of Monty Mouse and his holiday plans, I do enjoy the trials and tribulations of poor old Monty, thank you Ara keep ’em coming.
Bearsy submitted a very clever piece on financial fraudsters leaving even close family members destitute. It reminded me of close friends of my parents who were left in a similar situation back in the ’80’s, they lost almost everything, thank you Bearsy, I love it when these competitions make us sit up and think.
Christophertrier submitted a haunting entry on post colonial Africa, will things get better? Christopher doesn’t tell us but I’d like to think so.
And the winner is….
Christopher, congratulations, over to you for the next one!
Boadicea's Chariot 
Woo hoo!
I note that you had entries from the first three letters of the alphabet. What happened to the other 23, I wonder?
Good on ya’, Christopher! 😀
They also arrived in alphabetical order, very tidy 😉
Well done Christopher!
Thank you Soutie.
Bearsy’s poem was absolutely true. Quite an appalling pair of fraudsters that no one has anything to do with any more…
I won? They love me, they really love me! Thank you, Soutie.
Araminta and Bearsy both wrote excellent poems.
Well done, Christopher. I thought your poem was excellent. 🙂
Thanks for the kind mention, Soutie.
I loved your poem, Christopher; sorry I didn’t say so on the competition post. Congratulations! 🙂
Well done Christopher; a fine poem. 🙂
