One of the great things about the New Zealand Post Writers and Readers Week is the way it makes people interact with words. From yesterday’s Once Upon a Deadline to the two-metre cube that sits in Civic Square to the large literary quotes dotted around the city, there are words everywhere. Not that surprising  for a town that runs on paper, but refreshing to see so much writing on display.

NZ Post are also running a competition at http://www.inspiringwords.co.nz/. I’ll be posting a few entries this week – why not have a go yourself? Here’s my first effort:

Sizzle me hopeless love,
send my skin a spinning
Simple joke burns home
close, rare, dark, uncomfortable

You’ll see the weekly and monthly winners on the Inspiring words site.
