This contest is for authors 15 years and older writing for the child reader.
I have another contest running simultaniously for those writers who are 14 years and younger, writing for children.
http://allpoetry.com/contest/show/2354848
I want poems (or short stories) about the pros and cons of growing up in todays world, the formative years.
I want quality poems or short stories which are geared to the imaginations and pleasure of young children who are below the age of 12 years old.
Rules are pretty basic:
1. No profanity... none at all
2. Good grammar (unless something is pertinent to the piece)good punctuation... but remember, not much is needed in poetry.
3. Please put your age at the end of your poem/story. If you are over the age of 18, this is optional.
4. No adult, erotica, abuse catagories. Everyone should be able to read the entries.
5. nO tYPiNg lIke THiS and NO ALL CAPS LIKE THIS
The Gold winners in both contests will have a link to their poem placed on my author page.
So... put your muse to work, and I'll see you in the contest.

I think I can, I can do it! / Grab a cookie before they knew it! / Hold it tightly in my hand / I can do it, that’s my plan! / Grab a chair from the table / Climb up high, if I’m able / In the cupboard,• Commented on by judge. [remove]
