Theme: Poems submitted should be broadly religious or ‘spiritual’ in nature and, like all good religious poetry, appeal to those who would not necessarily describe themselves as ‘religious’.

Poems are welcome in any style or form and will be judged solely their merits as poetry.
Length: 40 lines maximum
