O Russell T Davies, thou timorous beastie! How do I love thee? Let me count the ways . . .
Elizabeth Browning aside, the world of Doctor Who poetry—small as it is—needs your help. Have you ever jotted down a Sycorax sonnet? A Rutan rhythm? A Hath haiku? GJB Publishing is accepting a book called The Best Doctor Who Poems in the Universe, and creator Garry Vaux needs your submissions.
- Include your name, age (optional), and location - entries are open to anyone, regardless of age!
- Poems can be a maximum of 30 lines in length. Maximum of two per person.
- All work should be your own and not previously published.
- Winning contributors will retain copyright of their work.
- The top 100 poems will be selected. The editor’s decision is final. Pictures to be sent via email and need to be 300dpi JPEGs. You can submit a maximum of two.
All submissions must go to [email protected]! Our neighbor over at Nebula One reports further:
Just like the Tenth Doctor and Shakespeare used the power of words to defeat the Carrionites, this book needs you to use the power of words to create poems about Doctor Who. They can be about the Doctor, his companions, his enemies or even what Doctor Who means to you and is open to everyone.
. . . There will also be a special mention to anyone who can rhyme Raxacoricofallapatorius! GJB Publishing is also looking for budding Vincent Van Gogh’s to send in your Doctor Who line drawings to decorate the book. (Your name will be credited alongside your work).
The deadline for entries is Saturday, 14th May, 2011.

There are no "best" Doctor Who poems.

If there are no best ones... now is your chance to write one ;)
