THERE is still time to enter the Daily Echo's Poetry Competition for National Poetry Day.

You could win two essential books for budding poets: The Writer's & Artists' Yearbook and Staying Alive, an unforgettable anthology.

Entries can be any length in any form or style and on any subject.

They should reach me at the Daily Echo by October 2 and I'll be printing as many as I can in the paper for National Poetry Week (beginning October 6).

The best poem will get the books.
