To plunge in or not?

Golden Point Award 2019
Yes, it's back, the biennial Golden Point Awards, Singapore’s premier creative writing competition for Short Story and Poetry in its four official languages: English, Chinese, Malay and Tamil.
I am thinking of participating in the English Poetry category. Presently, I am working on five poems, in various stages of editing. They are good poems, I think. City life themed, a bit dark, angry, violence just brewing below the surface before it erupts. There's always uneasiness with these types of works.
The deadline has been extended to 16 August 2019, which is good news for tardy and forgetful people like me.
Update (14/08/2019) : The deadline has been extended to 26 August 2019. Slightly more breathing space.
Update (29/08/2019) : The deadline has breezed by and I am still holding on to the poems. So no entries from me. 😦
Update (14/09/2019) : Feeling a tinge of regret. Should have send in those 5 poems. I think they are pretty good. With titles like these, why not?
- all the road signs
- no one thinks of politics when he is hungry
- nights on a thin mattress, redux
- my father's clothes
- slag
- the old gangster
😶
SEND IN THE DAMN MANUSCRIPT!
- Reminder in my smartphone.
