Have Mercy On Me, Father Goose!
Well, it was an honor just to be nominated. Oh, wait. No one was nominated. I volunteered. Ok, well it's been an honor to be in the company of so many amazing authors for the www.thinkkidthink.com March Madness Poetry Competition!
in a nutshell- we are all assigned a random (read: totally insane) word that we MUST incorporate into a kid friendly poem of 8 lines or less. That's round one. Among the 64 of us are names like Jane Yolen, Kenn Nesbitt and Eric Ode. I am pitted against Charles Ghigna, aka Father Goose and quite possibly, am going down in flames. Though ya just never know, right?! Yay for subjective opinions!

And wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun! Too bad you didn't get the word "oven"
ReplyDeleteOh, "oven" would have been a lifesaver! Well, minus the 8 line maximum. :-D
DeleteA Tiffany lamp never goes down in flames.
