Hearts Through History Writing Competition
A Valentine’s poetry competition for lovers of history
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we’re delighted to announce a brand new writing competition created especially for fans of Jodi Taylor.
This time, we’re inviting you to put pen to paper and compose a Valentine’s Day poem addressed to a famous person from history. The poem can be romantic, witty, heartfelt or mischievous, but it must include rhyming couplets. Submissions close on Saturday, 31st January, after which all entries will be published on Jodi's social media for readers to enjoy. The winner will be chosen through a public poll held between 1st and 13th February, and announced on 14th February. As a lasting keepsake, the winner will receive a beautifully framed copy of their poem.

Thanks. I'm a non Facebooker so I missed that. Now to find my historical hero/heroine...
With glee I'd create not just one but a spate
Of poems for you, that should please me too.
But it's unclear to me how much can be free -
You say rhyming couplets - you mean for the whole?
Or will a couple included be enough for your soul?
For example a sonnet, would that be okay?
Just let me know and I'll go off and play!
