Sign up on the day, or just come along to "enjoy" the event. Entry is free, but you can support The Mole Hole via Eventbrite.
THE RULES
1: Contestants will have a maximum of two minutes, including any introductory preamble. Time is limited to avoid unnecessary psychic injury. You will be gonged off if you exceed this.
2: No -isms and no -phobias. For example, sexist poems are extra bad because they're sexist, but we don't want that kind of badness! Be more creative, please. You may be ideologically repugnant if you wish - perhaps a sonnet on the loveliness of Donald Trump - but not at the expense of minority groups. We are here to have fun (though hopefully we will not actually be enjoying ourselves).
3: The winner will be chosen by an obtuse and unreliable process, probably involving the audience.
4: Using ChatGPT will almost certainly make your poetry worse, so from one point of view we encourage it.
