Ages 13 and Under ONLY ~ Pick an Image and write what comes to mind

This contest is for ages 13 and UNDER only.


For this contest pic one of the following images and write a poem about what it makes you think, feel or remember.
Just look at it and let your mind flow into it and write what comes to your mind when you do. 

For example if you look a picture of a lake and it makes you remember a picnic where you had peanut  butter sandwiches...write about it!  That's who it works. Good luck.

Your poem can be any style or length.

You can enter as many times as you'd like.

Please put the number of the image you've chosen in your author's comments.


About the judging:

We realize that you all do vary in age. So, your poems will be judged on the following things AND we will also take your age into consideration so that the judging remains fair and unbiased.

 

1) The form of poetry you've chosen.

2) The length of the poem (was it too short/long to make your point)

3) Capitalization/punctuation/grammar/spelling 
4) How well your poem fit with the guidelines of the contest

5) The creativity of your poem

Rules:

 

1) Please make sure we can read your poem!

    Distracting backgrounds or hard to see fonts are not good.

    We want to see your poem, not your background.

 

2) Be sure your language is appropriate for young .

    We should have to say it, but no profanity or "adult" topics.

 

3) Make sure to stick to the topic of the contest.

4) You are allowed creative freedom and dark poems are great

    but no suicide or self harm poems will be allowed.

Depending on the number of entries and the quality of those entries, prizes more prizes may be awarded.  This is a real contest kids, we want your best work and will comment to the best of our abilities to try and help you improve as best we can.


That's it. Have fun and Good Luck!

    I can feel his presence. / Feel him there. / Like he's reaching out to touch me. / But can't quite make it. / I feel his eyes. / Resting on my back. / Pleading me to turn. / But I do not.

  • Fallen Angel
    From the sky she falls / An angel in despair / Plummeting towards the ground / Hearing the rush of air / Her wings spread wide / To catch her fall / And curls her body / Into a small ball / Her descent slows

  • It Wasn't Meant To Be
