Well, no, I couldn't - but could you? I've received
the following from Writing West Midlands.
We’re working with Library of Birmingham to find two
talented poets to become Birmingham’s next Poet Laureate and Young Poet
Laureate. No formal qualifications are required. If you have the gift of
poetry, share it with us. If you live, work or study in Birmingham, you can
apply for these honorary posts. You have until 12 August 2016 to submit your
application.
The two-year role has a small budget to commission poems and
fund activities. This might include writing poems to commission, performing
poetry, running workshops, getting involved in cultural events and working with
the city’s many poets and poetry groups.
To apply, candidates must submit two poems – including one
about Birmingham - along with a personal statement outlining what they would
like to achieve with the role.

I can't write poems but my daughter has brilliant ones. I'll tell her about this.
