"Seven bums and fourteen legs,
a brazen ecstasy which begs
the question some of us are asking -
is Peter Goulding multi-tasking?"

Oh well, it was worth a try....

Thank you for entering the Picador Poetry Prize. We are sorry that your work has not been selected for the shortlist.
Be reassured, however, that this is principally a reflection of the overwhelming number of entries received, and of their extremely high quality. We wish you every success with your own writing, and hope you will consider entering the competition again.

No more than I expected really. Oh well, head down, try again...
