Last month I entered the following poem in Dotty Pig Jewellers Poetry comp. It didn't win but was good fun.
Looks like they'll be running regular comps, although this month's Dotty Pig On Location is a photo comp. Might be worth bookmarking for future though. Prize is a goodie bag of their lovely fun jewellery.

DOTTY PIG - TICKLED PINK
Glittering in sequined glory
Polka dots beam round and bright.
Dottys got her party frock on.
Out she goes, into the night.
All her friends are playful piggies
Squealing loud and sharing hugs.
Taking seats they compare handbags,
Sipping cocktails served in jugs.
Dancing, dazzle, jewellery flashing
Dotty wows the party crowd.
Legs-akimbo, spinning, twirling.
All her friends applaud, so proud.
Home the girls go to their pillows,
Lovely memories to keep.
Dotty dreams in vibrant colour,
Happy in her beauty sleep.

You was robbed!
(I did actually think they were pretty awful - yours is far superior.)
The others are awful. Giantist buttons?
Anyway, they're not! They're far nicer looking than some celebrities I could name (but won't)!!
I agree with the others, LilyC - your poem was much better. Whoever did the judging must be mad!

I really enjoyed entering (under my real name of Michele Ranger), thank you. I posted my poem over on my blog at http://micheleranger.blogspot.com/2010/08/tickled-pink.html after the comp ended, with a link to your site.
I love your jewellery and I look forward to entering your September comp.
Where's the real Lily?? Imposter.
Seriously though, and I don't want to make any assumptions, but I suspect it's a dyslexia issue because letters transpose themselves which is easily done with LilyC. Can anyone with dyslexia comment?
