Entered our competition to win a Livescribe Echo smartpen? There’s still plenty of time, with the closing date more than a week out. If you caught our original review of the biro with a brain, you’ll know it’s one you’ll want to enter. However, you’ll have to dazzle us with a digital ode that tops these ones we’ve received so far. Read on for the best picks, and to find out how to submit your own…
To enter our Livescribe Echo competition, all you have to do is write us a love letter, telling us in the comments why you love Electricpig – and tick off a few terms and conditions, see here for the details). It’s simplicity itself, but you’ll need to get the creative juices gushing to beat some of the submissions we’ve had so far.
Maya Russell’s poem warms our cockles, and sums up exactly what we try to do on the site:
Electricpig, you are the best gadget site I’ve ever seen,
Gaming, gadgets, phones and more – on all I’m really keen,
Reviews and news of everything that’s really techy,
Each day I can’t wait to see you, I’m already browsing with my brekky!
Top 5 lists, videos to watch and even a competition here or there,
You are my love, my only one – nothing can ever compare.
Yours forever, Miss Electricpiggy xxx
Shelley Jones meanwhile has penned an epic ballad devoted to the prize itself:
My ‘Lovescribe Echo Smitten Pen’,
My ‘Write’ in shining armour,
You write the words I’m lost for,
You help me pen a drama,
Or interviews, reviews the news,
A diary or book,
No other pen comes close to you,
None worth a second look,
So thank you, buddy, friend, pen-pal,
Forever in my pocket,
I carry you like jewellery,
My Echo Smartpen locket x
Of course, as our English teacher used to tell us, poetry doesn’t have to rhyme, and Kevin Hutchinson has taken heed of that wisdom with his own entry:
I love you scratchings, sausages, pies and trotters, in fact nearly all of you.
Aw. We love you too Kevin.
