Credit crunch poetry

This Thursday is National Poetry Day, which aims to explore the relevance of verse in modern-day life.

This year's theme is work. Award-winning poet Paul Farley has written a poem for the day entitled 'Graft'.

We want your poems on one of the hot issues at the moment - the credit crunch. Paul Farley will be standing by to read a selection.

Thank you for your poems. We are no longer looking for contributors.
