Poerty Contest

Okay, so I'm thinking of writing a poem or two for a poetry contest. Topic suggestions? I'm thinking some kind of emotion... but then again, it's a summer poetry contest for kids, and everything springing to mind isn't very... childish, to put it mildly. Anyways, I need IDEAS!!!
By the way... report cards next week. I'm kind of scared about my grade for Science, since I got one zero this semester and I don't know if I have enough other grades to balance that out. I'm expecting the worst, because that's just what I do. I'll try to post at least every week but no promises!

  1. good luck on the report card. I'd go with the emotion of rage or frustration- hey tend to be the strongest.

  2. I'd start with a favorite song. Think about how it makes you feel when you hear it. Then use that emotion as a jumping off point for your poetry.

    Good luck- can't wait to read it- be sure to post it on your blog!

  3. "jumping off point" made me think of jumping off a cliff... sigh... well this is hopeless, maybe i'll just do a haiku or two and just turn that in
