New BeginningNew Beginnings

New Beginnings

The start of the New Year is the beginning of a new era.

We have made it through 2005. What are your thoughts and feelings on the last year? Have you completed ambitions of your own or watched others achieve their dreams? How did this make you feel? What about your hopes and aspirations for the future? What would you like to see; world peace, global environmental issues addressed, aid for the third world increased or a decline in crime?

All these issues are something that we as a nation feel strongly about. But what does a new beginning mean to you? Maybe a new start in your life, a birth of a baby, a New Year’s resolution that you will not break! Or maybe you are just looking forward to what’s still to come.

Whatever your views are on new beginnings we want to know about them in the form of a poem.

Love

If you think you could demonstrate your feelings in the form of a poetic verse, we would love to hear from you. Dedicate your poems to the object of your desire whoever that might be; it could be the partner who adds zing to your life and twangs your heartstrings, or it might be someone you haven’t even approached yet who sets your pulse racing!

Now is the time for all you romantics out there to put pen to paper! Compose a poem that is from the heart, add a special dedication, and show that person in your life just how much you care about them.

Poems for Mum

Poems for Mum

Of all the friends we have in the world there is one who will always be there for us, supporting us and giving us advice no matter what we have done - that person is our Mum. For all the times our mothers have helped and supported us, how about giving something back?

We are looking for poems that reflect the essential role mothers play in our lives. To show just how much you care and appreciate them, we would like you to write a poem dedicated to your Mum.
