Folks, it is my pleasure to announce the opening of the 4th El Pretz Per Tomas Poetry Contest! The judges this year are the nation's poet laureate, @Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat and the founder of the contest, @owenedwards

I express my gratitude for their willingness to participate in reviewing submissions.

The submission period will run until March 31st so plenty of time to wax poetic and submissions are welcome in either Talossan or English. But please for those of us not as well-versed in Talossan please provide an English translation.

New this year is the prize of $30 USD along with publication on Fora Talossa.

Submissions can be submitted via Witt PM here or via email to copebh [at] gmail [dot] com.

Here is my entry.

Quiet forum threads,
a lone post drifts like dust motes,
waiting to be seen.
