Poetry Contest 2012!

Get your poet hats on—the contest starts tomorrow!

You may wonder about this whole poetry contest thing.  "Is Loralee just totally gaga for poetry?"

Well, not gaga—although I do like it.  No.  It started when I posted that Monday's Child is fair of face poem and asked my loyal readers to guess which child I was (for my birthday).  As I thought about it, I thought that some of the daily children got a bad deal, so I had a contest to create happier children in that rhyme. (You can see the results of that contest HERE.) 

One April day, while my "Monday's Child" contest was running, I was listening to classical radio and I learned that April was National Poetry Month. I realized that I had unwittingly—oh, um, no . . . I had cleverly started a poetry contest during National Poetry Month.  Well, I couldn't resist making it an annual thing after that.

So now you know.  And this year's contest starts

¯¯to-morrrrooowww! ¯  So play along with me! :-)

p.s.  If you've been watching the poem of the day in the sidebar, I've been giving you a hint about this year's contest.
