Your News, we want to hear it

Missing bantams, gun-toting husbands, speeding trains, wood smoke, sleepless nights. It may sound like lyrics from a Tom Waits' song, but these are some of the topics you'll hear in our weekly "Your News" feature.

The idea: You tell us your news in a single sentence, we string them all together as a bulletin read out by a ´óÏó´«Ã½ voice.

Winston Plowes sent his news in the form of a haiku..

On the lonely moors, the wind cuts into my face. Stranded, far from home.

Moira Stuart

Last week, the sports broadcaster James Alexander Gordon joined the galaxy of Radio 4 stars who have read Your News. Listener Iris Wells made this request:

"Perhaps you would kindly consider asking Moira Stuart if she would read the listeners' news one week? It would be good to hear Moira again - I miss her reading the news on TV."

iPM has approached Moira's agent. Fingers crossed.

If you have a sentence of news (haiku optional) or want to nominate a Your News newsreader, leave a comment below or email us at ipm-at-bbc.co.uk.
