PRIZES
Write about Summer! The heat, the ice-cream, the sunburn! Or a poem that describes what you want/hope your summer will be like. Perhaps places you’d like to go, activities you’d like to do, the perfect setting for the peace and quiet you’d like to have, or the non-stop action you’ve been praying will erase the memories of your dull routine. You can use narrative, rhyming, free verse, blank verse, or any kind of poetry that will help you express what you’re feeling.
