Copywriting forum?

I was just thinking it may be good to have one on ProZ. We could exchange ideas, but more importantly, organize writing sessions or writing contests on some topics. We could then vote the best piece. The forms could be poems, short stories, articles, drama/dialogues, etc.

While it's a separate world from translation, it's still related, and may be a good additional training for advancing or conditioning language skills.

Feedback please?

‘Twas at the witching midnight hour
When Anne Boleyn walked round the Tower,
With stately step, serene and calm,
And head tucked underneath her arm.
She had no fear of winter ills.
Her woollen cloak kept out the chills.
For gremlin, banshee, ghost or ghoul,
There is no substitute for wool.

In the late 1950s, the Wool Marketing Board (UK) ran a series of advertisements with rhymes ending in the line: "There is no substitute for wool".

I wrote one, as follows, and submitted it to them (just before Halloween, 1957), but they didn't use it.
