SMS Poets Wanted

To celebrate World Poetry Day, T-Mobile UK is inviting Brits to become the country’s first ‘Txt laureate’ by texting the best romantic SMS poem to win cash prizes of up to £1000.

Lysa McIntyre, T-Mobile’s Head of Beyond Voice, said: “Lovers clearly adore the joy of text – and every day millions of love messages are sent and received across the UK. It means romantic poetry is flourishing, even though love letters are a thing of the past, and we want to find and preserve the best in our competition to find the UK’s Txt laureate.”

I like that. Poetry should be flourishing and if that means in only 160 characters so be it - Klem
