Contests
New Poetry Contest: Summer!
It’s summer at last! What a great time to get outside with friends, splash in the community pool, and maybe start a new hobby—like raising bees! For this month’s contest, everybuggy would love to read your best poem about the joys and adventures of summer.
Will you write about your favorite outdoor activities, like playing baseball, or skateboarding, or hiking in the mountains? Maybe your poetry will be inspired by your adventures at summer camp or trying to earn money at a summer job. You could write about observing nature in summer, like watching robins search for worms in your backyard (sorry, George and Tail). Or you might write a funny poem about your battle with summer bugs or wilting in the summer heat. You could even imagine the perfect summer vacation for your dog. Maybe, like Santa, he’d like to dip his toes in the ocean, too!
Whether you write about marching in a Fourth of July parade, enjoying a long-delayed family vacation, or just reading quietly under a shady tree, everybuggy in Cricket Country will be cooling off in the wading pool and sipping ice tea in their sunglasses as they wait to enjoy your best poem—of 24 lines or less, please—about summer.
