great idea for a contest. i have some prewrites i could enter but will try to come up with something new
-
this a new contest idea that i have never seen before. i like to write childrens poems, probably because im still one at heart. thanks for having a contest that was original and not over done and cliche. i hope that your daughter enjoys all of the poems and good luck to her and you on the judging. oh and good luck to everyone else in the contest.
-
Another contest. You must have an abundance of points to give
. Funny I have many poems about children but they are directed toward adults. I'll have to think of something.
If you want great poems to read to your child, I strongly recommend Shel Sylverstien.
-
actualy I have done alot of comenting but I also just took first place in a contest and am using the points from that to hold this one
-
I guess it won't hurt to try my hand in still another contest. I'm not sure if the words I used are child apropriet like "Hark" and "lo" I know several adults who look at me strangley when I used thoes words... oh well they used words like "hark" in The Night Before Chirstams so I can use them in my poem.

Is your 7 year old going to judge? I think she should Who better would know if the poem was a good one for a 7 year old.
-
I tried to add 2 stories to the contest, but it didn't add them
. They are not on the drop down list of prewrites either . Are you certain you are allowing stories?
-
All I can say is that maybe it wont show ones that are posted under story write I have no idea. hmmmm I will ask and find out okie dokie
-
well let me see what I can cook up in the next day or so...
-
