Summer Poetry Competition In The Shire

O the summer time has come
and the trees are sweetly blooming
and the wild mountain thyme
grows around the blooming heather.

Will ye go lassie, go? 

Seasons come and go, the cycle of the sun turns bringing the crops to swelling goodness.Tis the time ter take a break from tilling the fields and rejoice in all that is grand. Time ter sit back and fer yon budding hiden poets ter put their pens ter paper and see who will become this years Summer-time Bard.

Tis been a while since last we met and listened to the offerings of the poets, but we'll change that now.

No doubt there's many a new poet appeared since last Spring, and tis only fair ter give them a chance ter shine. So this time the competition is open ter all who has not won a title before. 

Now the topics ye have ter choose from, these are want we'd like ye ter base yer poem on, are: Water (rivers, streams, lakes anything water based) Friends or Traveling
