This is for the ten year old in you.

I want you to write a rhyme or free verse in the voice of a ten year old child
explaining the facts of life. I want to see the world through your eyes.


Rules:

No reservations

Edit your work




that’s it. I really want to give you creative freedom in this contest. I want
you to close your eyes and remember....remember.

Contest is Over

  • Contest was judged on October 12
  • Rewards: Gold: 500, Silver: 300, Bronze: 175, Honorable mention: 17 people
  • Final notes:
    this contest could not be judged with an adult eye...it had to be judged with the little girl in me, and so, because my daddy taught me that sharing was much more fun than not sharing, i have decided to give everyone something shiny for such wonderful entries. you made me smile, you made me laugh, you made me remember what a joy it was to be a child. it wasn't always easy to be a kid, but somehow we made it, and from the looks of you all...you made it with the ten year old still in tact Thank you, my friends. Love, Lane
