The Little Man contest is an opportunity for you to paint with words; impress us with your poetry.
The above image is of ‘The Little Man.’
Write a poem that relates to ‘The Little Man’.
It can be about him, for him, or for you (or me) relating to what you see or feel towards/about him.
The judging will be done from the quality of your word image(s) and how it impacts on me in relation to ‘The Little Man’ image above.
Extra hints to help impress the judge:
The Little Man’s real name is Kenten.
And –
If you possess a desire to write anything ‘sick’, aggressive or dominant towards children you are wasting your time with this judge you will never win anything (other than my rage) – it will turn my stomach.
The contest is for 400 points
360 for the winner
25 for second
15 for third
You will also gain a trophy to hang next to your name.
There are no special rules.
Pre-Writes are fine.
Enter as many times as you like.
(You have a free hand)
Thank you (in advance)
Regards,
Wattle

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on November 6, 2004
- Rewards: Gold: 360
- Final notes: Thank you all so much for your contribution. We are/were really touched by the quality of your poetry.
Judging: Those of you who didn’t use this contest to explain something about your persuasion relating to the merit of some war in Iraq or your call on Uncle Sam flavor of freedom all won your way onto our short list and it was our view those on our short list all deserved a trophy. But poetry contests reflect life - (we don’t always get what we deserve) - sorry. However we hope you ‘shorties’ can take comfort from knowing that in a number of years your poem will be given to a rather special young man so he might be inspired by your effort – we thank you on his behalf in advance.Entries [17]

For a brief minute there I thought the photo was that of your son. He is adorably cute. I love his smile, he looks like a little baby doll. An extremely handsome fella.
