I'm thinking of entering a poetry competition that has a £1000 first prize. You can enter as many poems as you like, but you have to pay an entry fee for each poem. So I thought I might enter up to three of my own poems... but I'm not sure if I should do it. I've never shown anyone my stuff (other than posting it on here and on fictionpress, but that's more for myself and I haven't had any feedback other than the average 'I'm only reviewing your stuff so you'll review mine' on fictionpress and a couple of encouraging comments on here. So I wondered... is it worth it? Any one of my poems any of you reading this particularly liked? (Charles, I know you've seen most of them...) This sounds really stupid, but I don't know whether I actually write crap or whether it's good. It's a bit hard to tell with your own stuff!
