If you are a parent...
I want you to write a poem to your child... tell them about the good that you see in them... or how proud of them you are... Write about their GOOD qualities... ESPECIALLY the ones that might get into trouble or that you have relationship problems with...
If you are a teenager...
I want you to write a poem to your parents... tell them what you see in them that's good... write about a special GOOD memory... tell them things that you feel deeply in your heart... or write to them about what they are doing right...
RULES FOR BOTH...
There have only been a few who have actually followed this first rule...
AFTER you write the poem... share it with who you wrote it about then in your author comment section... share the results...
NO cussing
NO erotica
BE SERIOUS!!!
I love poems that rhyme and have a good, solid meter but you can write in any form you like best.
I might wind up closing this early, depending on how many entries I get.
300 points for gold

Got the perfect prewrite, written just a few months ago for teenager's graduation. Would you consider it?

Great idea, Sweetie. I just don't have teenagers anymore. Good luck on your contest. I know this could really helps some parent/child relationships. God Bless, Patricia

Wonderful idea Melissa. I have written a few aboiut my two that still qualify as teens (17 and 18) but nothing that focused on the best in them. I will see if my muse can help me with that, Glenda

Could you send me the link via IM?

i wrote a poem about how i feel towards my parents, but it is rather negative. although, it has a positive message telling OTHER parents to not lie to their kids.
i guess that is good, but i am not sure if that is what you are looking for.
My intentions in writing the poem was to have a positive impact, but i get the impression that what you are looking for is a poem that just tells how much a kid loves their parents... but my poem is very negative, although in the last paragraph I have a few sentences that wraps it all up and leaves the reader with a positive feeling.
i dont know. lol you'll see what i mean when you read it. im going to enter it into your contest and if it isn't what you are looking for, remove it, but please comment
(you mind as well since you read it)
but first i have to type it up!
~good contest.. adios!
