Remna(n)ts

I entered my poem, 'High sooner' in for the Stanmer Prize at my uni, I should have mentioned- I am not sure if much will come of it. I think the idea was that we would submit the pastoral poems that we wrote for the Aspects seminars, but I hated mine so much that I wrote another one, without so much intentional fabrication. Still, always worth trying I guess. They said we could give in an optional explanation of the poem, but what use would that have been anyway? Calling it 'pastoral' is ugly enough. I wonder if the judges share my sentiment?
I doubt being delusional is particularly supported amongst eco-poets, anyway. Did they ever consider that it's probably the only solution?
It's not our world, pompous fools.
