[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Introducing the 2nd El Pretz 'Per Tomás poetry prize

https://youtu.be/FZhBAlTB_Lk

In the words of this contest's founder, Owen Edwards, "El Pretz 'Per Tomás" prize is awarded in honour of all purple-tongued Talossans, most especially the granddaddy of them...it represents the hope that Talossa will continue to seek to understand its past, with its turmoils and tragedies, whilst working for a better, more beautiful future."

Fora Talossa is pleased to partner with prize creator Owen Edwards and inaugural prize recipient Breneir Tzaracomprada as judges and Talossa's very own poet laureate, Eoin Ursum as a ceremonial sponsor.

I will be cleaning my typewriter now.
Nice!

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Braneu, you are a remarkable breath of fresh air to the Kingdom. Thank you so much for jumping head first into Talossanity.

[Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat]

Is there a theme? Or is it open to anything?

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

No theme or length requirements. Looking forward to reading your submission :)

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

@Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu

Do either of you have some poems you would like to submit?

[Eiric S. Bornatfiglheu]

I'm afraid I'm not much of a poet.

[Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB]

If you were asking for plays or novels, I'd have something. The last time I wrote a poem was in high school over 32 years ago. Sorry.

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

Oh darn, thanks to you both for responding though. Good news is we just received our second entry. :)

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

I'm trying to translate one to Talossan but perhaps this was a rushed decision haha. I'll just send it as it is :)
