The competition ends 30 October 2009. Winners will be notified at the end of October, and winning poems will be published in an anthology and on this site. Each winner will also receive two copies of the printed anthology.
Start a text message with Battersea then a space, then your poem, in one text only, and send it to 07786 202 844.
Take the people, places, and history of Battersea as your inspiration, but your poem doesn't have to be about SW11, so a poem inspired by Clapham Junction might be about a journey, as shown in the picture below.
You can submit as many poems as you like. Your poem will be published instantly on:
www.thumbprintcity.com/london/battersea
Sending a poem only costs the same as sending a normal text to your friend’s phone. You will not be signed up for anything, ever.
Competition closes 31/10/09
