Stretch.....yawn.....wiggle, stretch again. It's true, I am uncurling from my dormancy just in time for the 2013 March Madness Poetry Tournament. In honor of the tournament, I have written a new poem. It might be a bit of a plug for votes, but I still maintain this...Vote for your favorite poem; it doesn't have to be mine, just be sure to follow the tournament and vote, vote, vote!
Today is the day
It might sound absurd,
but today is the day
I am given my word.
It could change my life,
and I wouldn’t know it.
This mystery word
could make me a poet.
With this word and ten lines
I’ll be ready to fight
I’ll be thinking and drafting
to make it rhyme right.
It’s up to the public
if I sink or I float
Go to thinkkidthink.com
and place your first vote!
I will get my word late tonight via email. From there, I will have 36ish hours to create, edit and finalize a new poem. Go to www.thinkkidthink.com on Thursday to vote!
