I regret that I’ve become so irrelevant in these parts that I’m only the second person that came to mind when deciding whom to ping... Shame that doesn’t rhyme... 106 minutes to come up with something. Let’s not end up regretting the choice of topic, get those entries in.

Following yet another tie between #1 and #4, it’s been decided to have a panel of at least three judges consisting of the current MoL and two previous Poet Laureates who didn’t participate, to judge the final two.
