Have I got A Poem Poetry contest
My name is Mr. S and do I have a challenge for you! Inspired by such great works as “Little Abigail and the Beautiful Pony”, “The Auctioneer” and “Speech to the Young: Speech to the Progress-Toward” this month BASA challenges you to create a poem that persuades. Try a haiku hawking a holiday or a rondeau retailing a robe or a sonnet singing the praises of shorter school days! The possibilities are endless!
Now you might be thinking, “Wait a moment. This sounds too good to be true. I can write any form of poetry and all I need to do is identify a product or experience or idea that I would like other people to buy, engage in or support? There must be a catch!”
All right, there is a catch. You can only submit a maximum of ONE POEM. I know, I know, many of you will want to send in three or four or even five poems but this contest is limited to only 1 entry per student. BUT THAT IS THE ONLY CATCH! Other than that, you can write whatever you want! Talk to your teacher about how to submit!
