Five more days until September 15th, the due date for my poem contest. Check out the page titled New Contest on my menu bar. I’m requesting four stanzas of four lines each about children.
Check out the entries there, scroll down, and cut and paste your entry into the LEAVE A REPLY box. No poetry writing experience necessary. For people I don’t know, I will need to approve your post so it might not appear right away as I’m not always on the computer when entries arrive.
The judging will be by poets who don’t read my blog so there won’t be biased choices. Looking forward to more entries. Tell your poet friends about it.
Thanks and good luck!

Playful Children by Sheila Bali
Playful children comb the coral beaches.
Tumbled glass and
egg-shaped shells,
hide in tiny wet-clenched hands.
Rolling waves crash the seaweed shores.
Sprays mist and
sun- baked feet,
sink in specks of grainy-sands.
A giggle’s heard, a teasing follows.
Wind breezes and
parched tongues,
taste the salty bits of crusty granule.
Shrieking seagulls soar the darkened sky.
Clouds bellow and
rain torrents,
as playful children sprint for home.
