If you're over 18 years of age and a Victorian resident, post your entry on the blog (1 entry per person) for the chance to win a romantic weekend getaway for two at Sofitel Melbourne On Collins and lunch for two at Persimmon.

The judging panel is comprised of three judges: Professor Jennifer Strauss (Editor of the Oxford Anthology of Australian Love Poetry), Penny Modra (Editor of Three Thousand; The Age arts columnist) and Richard Watts (Presenter of SmartArts on TripleR).

Without you

I move with you, in you, into the oceans bliss.
The residue of life passes me by,
as boats which sail forth into unknown lands.
I watch, I wait, knowing somehow I will drown
in you.
Knowing you is life forsaken in me, but I watch, I wait, knowing that life has no meaning
without you.
As I watch and wait, you part, as I love and wait, you watch us part.
