It's been rather more than a year since the poets of ilx* foregathered to commemorate he who spoke for the trees. Lest we forget. Should auld acquaintance and all that.
THE RULES ARE SIMPLE:
"The poem must be 4 - 40 lines. That doesn't include line breaks or the title. One entry per person. Post your entry here. I'll move them all later when the poll starts."
To which I shall add that tradition permits two entries per poet, but no more than that. The deadline is nominally Dec. 31, 2015, but sweet reason rules the day, so these details could change if it proves necessary.
* entering a poem automatically earns one this epithet

no interest this year? would it be a good idea to extend the deadline?
(I'm trying to write a poem *just for ilx* but am not really getting anywhere)

I have no problem with extending the deadline. I knew that squeezing it into what was left of 2015 was dicey, but symmetry demanded I make the attempt.
Seems to me like a new deadline of March 1, 2016 is a better bet. Even then I am not sure we can get this off the ground unless someone posts a poem. I'll work on mine this week, if time permits.

:( I promised myself I'd make time for this but alas my time making device is fucked from overwork this year

It is now OFFICIAL. Deadline: March 1, 2016.

Or, alternatively, whenever the poets of ILX wake up from their holiday-induced comas.
