Guess who's coming to dinner ... Why they'll be lions ... And tigers ... And bears ... Oh my!
Somebody better bring a bottle of Jacks or Wild Turkey for this motley crew.

Alright, we have 20 poets ready to compete in RANDOM POEMS [2] De POWER [Opium] THREE! The poets have been divided into four groups of five and the [anonymous] judges have been finalised.
Challenge No.1 and the groups will be posted on this thread in less than 24 hours from the time of this post.
I'll post the details for the comp prior to announcing the challenge, so everyone can get a handle how the comp will work.
The uncomplicated version is each individual group is set a challenge, each poet must write a poem within the given timeframe, incorporating 3 key factors set for each challenge.

RSaba you've made into the fold and Cameron, sorry I already have the 20, but you will be on the reserve bench, just in case someone pulls out of the 1st Challenge.

Haha! I take it that saying "knock yourself out" doesn't go down well in an Irish pub or in an elimination poetry comp? [seriously, that pun wasn't intended... for once]
