It's National Poetry Day - a nationwide eruption of words, voices, and creativity.
Regular listeners of Afternoons will know that for us it means its Afternoons' Poetry Day Competition.
Here's how it works, poet and author Tracey Slaughter is here to share the six words for you to use to create a poem.
You have until 2pm to send it to us at afternoons@rnz.co.nz or 2101 on the text machine, then after three Tracey will be back with the winner of the competition.
