The CRO Red Nose Day Poetry Collection

We are asking all our work contacts and friends to write a poem from 2-30 lines long. There are 2 categories: one using a given line and one where you have to use 3 out of 8 Favourite Words. For every poem received we will donate £1 and then £5 for the two best poems, one in each category. We will also suggest that people make their own donation by linking to this site.

Write a poem for us right now / The categories show you how / Give some thought and then some money / Be wise, be brilliant, be funny / We'll give a pound for every verse / Whether it's good, or bad or worse!

The CRO Red Nose Day Poetry Collection

We asking you to write a poem and send it to us, then make a donation to Comic Relief. For every poem received, however fabulous or appalling, however long or short, in whatever style, CRO Ltd. will donate £1 on your behalf to Red Nose Day. Once all entries are received, we’ll choose our two favourites, one from each category, and donate a further £5 on behalf of each poet. All poems will be published on a special page on our website. Category 1: Your poem must be from 2-30 lines long and include the line: “Today must be my lucky day”. You don’t have to use it as the first line: it can appear anywhere, and it can be broken up over two lines if you like. Category 2: Your poem must be 2-30 lines long and use at least three of the following FAVOURITE WORDS, chosen by the CRO team. • Lollop • Monkey • Pantaloons • Safari • Titter • Horribly • Riparian • Aloof. Any subject matter is welcome, and the more wit and wisdom, the better. But please folks – keep it clean! How to enter: E-mail your poem to catherinerosesoffice@dsl.pipex.com. Remember to include your name and contact details. Then donate some money to Red Nose Day. We’ve only set a limit of £50 and we are sure you can help us do better than that! THANK YOU FOR YOUR CREATIVE JUICES - AND YOUR CASH!
