After a 3 year break due to life responsibilities, I've finally managed to get the chance to refocus on this website and to run the SMS poetry contests again. The purpose of the sms poetry competition is to write a poem that is short enough to fit in a single 160 character mobile phone SMS text message.

The theme of this competition is 'NEW BEGGININGS'. You can enter as many times as you wish. All poems MUST be a maximum of 160 characters long (this includes punctuation spaces and line breaks).

So, as long as your poem can be related to the theme New Begginings in some way then it's acceptable. Your poem for example could be about...

•a new job
•moving home
•a new school, uni, course
•rectifying an argument
•a big change in your life
•etc

The first prize is a NEW Purple iPod Nano.

So good luck everyone, you can enter this contest as many times as you like! Remember that the theme is 'NEW BEGGININGS' and your poems can be a maximum of 160 characters! Make sure you read the guidelines set by the TXT MASTER below. Otherwise you may find yourself being disqualified for unknown reasons.

Competition ends Midnight October 31st 2010 GMT
