Contests
Web Bonus Poetry Contest: Open Theme
Have you been honing your poetry skills on the Inkwell? Now's a chance to submit your best work for everybuggy to enjoy. Summer is a time of fun and freedom, and so your poem can be on any topic you like. There are a few poetic Rules, however. Read them below, then sharpen you pencil, sit under a tree, and let your muse flow. Send us your most inspired verse--just one poem, please, of 24 lines or less--to arrive by August 25. Everybuggy will be rhyming and scanning and wordsmithing their way to the Cricket Country mailbox to read them.
-
