We like crocodiles, we like being green. Run online by a group of strange, unhealthy young poets from round the world who are secret supergators at night, The Crocodile likes its poetry fresh and tangy, with a hint of lunacy.
Send us your words, no line limits. We like misfits, vegetarianism, nonsense and saving Patrick Bateman, the ultimate crocodile (no, seriously). We'll take what you got if it's crazy enough for our appetite, and no we don't bite unless you're after our leather. Read up and get writing!

Hello!

Hello hello!

I am Joshua Kam, who is part hedgehog. Forgive the weird surname. I'm Chinese, you see, though my Mandarin is horribly stunted and inexcusably horrendous. But other than that, I am quite your average, unorthodox teenage poet. I like the word 'marmoreal'. It rolls very nicely. Like a pistachio pastry. :)

Qualifications? Oh dear, I doubt I have many feathers in my cap to boast (yet! XD) but I did hit the Commended list of for Foyle Young Poet of the Year Award in 2009. I'm fifteen years old. I'm afraid I'm not considered very experienced, by anybody's standards -mine included, but am learning a lot from the rest of my wise, wise friends. I am taking a kind of backseat role in the poem editting, because I'm not entirely confident in my eligibility to critique very well. But I'd be happy to emcee the blog as often as I may!

Good day/night to all of you, from Malaysia!

Josh
