A brief explanation from Niamh herself:
"Write a short poem - no more than 4 lines - decide if it goes with the fruit, the frozen food, the cleaning products, or maybe you're in a different kind of shop altogether. Place the poem, and get a pic, let me know about it and we'll do a grand list of all the links at the end of the "month". Poetry to the people!!"
At the same time I thought I could cunningly utilise Emerging Writer's plea for the Englynion, here;
A brief explanation from the source:
"There are some variations but why not try the englyn cyrch. It's four seven-syllable lines of which lines one, two and four rhyme and the end of line three has an internal rhyme in line four:
_ _ _ _ _ _ a
_ _ _ _ _ _ a
_ _ _ _ _ _ b
_ _ _ b _ _ a "
So I wrote, and I placed. I have myself noticed the internal rhyme is in the wrong place.
Could I leave them? Of course not.
So what did I learn?
Do not place bitter little poems in shops where the owner knows your birthday and the middle names of your children, and where you know every other customer by sight, name and marital history.
So I lifted them and scarpered, and resolve to get my rhyme in the right place next time.
