It's spring again! To celebrate, WWN will be awarding three codes: a Shamrock Dragon (1st place), a Leprechaun Shamrock Patch (2nd place), and a Snowman Figurine (3rd place). To enter the contest, reply to this topic with a poem about spring or St. Patrick's Day. If you were on the old blog, I did this last year. It can be any rhythm and any rhyme scheme, but it must be about either spring or St. Patrick's Day. All entries must be received by April 15, 2011, at 11:59 PM. Any entries after this date will not be considered. Entries will be judged by creativity and style. Entries must be the original work of the entrant. P.S. If you're wondering why I included a snowman for a spring contest, it's because spring is when snowmen melt. Good luck, and have fun! I can't wait to read your poems!

Just a poem or do you want graphics also?

I 'll start.....throat clearing sounds......

Spring is sprung
The grass is ris
I wonder where all the flowers is.


Yes, that's supposed to be spelled that way to rhyme with 'is'


OK.....maybe I'll come up with something better but don't count on it.

You don't need a graphic, just a poem. I like yours! You don't have to use the img tag for your smilies, they're in the directory.

Google's bot has suddenly discovered that the calendar goes all the way to 2020. It wants to see every single page. It's been on since yesterday.

I don't know what you're referring to about the tag for the smilies? I clicked on the icon.
Also, what about the bot?...and the calendar? ...and does this need to be posted somewhere else?

No, it was just random chat. Strange, in your post code it says you used an image tag. Maybe it converts to that after a while.

Hi there, hoodedwarbler! What a neat little contest. That patch looks so cool- free KinzCash! Here is my poem about my favorite season, Spring!

Skipping through the green grass
Bright flowers lining the beautiful pass
A bird tweeting, flying up high
How cute is he, that little guy



He he, I just made this up quick. Good luck every body!

What a great poem! The patch doesn't grow kinzcash. It just looks like it. Bit of a gimmick.

Haha, I didn't think so.

Spring is Here
Spring is here to stay
Let's go outside and play
The sun is shinning bright
We play at our favorite site
And we enjoy each sunny day.

I love your entry!
Sadly for me, Spring didn't stay! yesterday it was just about 58 degrees and it was sunny and there was no snow. Today, there is two inches of snow.
I love spring.

Thanks. Spring kinda took a day off where I live as well. We didn't get snow, but our beautiful weekend turned into a rainy mess today. Hopefully the sun will come back soon.
Thanks

I think you have a natural gift.

OK....I like this one better. Its an original.

Hallelujah to one and all....I'm so glad it's spring and not winter or fall.
The rains bring now green and posies... instead of winter's cold and 'cozies'
Good bye hat! So long coat!.....no more sniffles and scratchy throat.
I run to embrace the warming sun ....full of joy and ready for fun.

Much better. I'll delete your old entry.

Spring Anew

Spring is anew
With the sky blue
We set our troubles a skew
And our hearts are true
Everyone is excited, like me and you.
Spring is where we clue
Into lands where birds flew
And where grass hangs with dew.
Where the trees grow a new hue.
Especially the yew.
This is when Spring is anew.

I made the rhyming word 'anew'.

Is my sister aloud to enter?

If she joins.

Spring brings warm and joyous hours,
And with rain comes pretty flowers.
Voilets in the meadow green,
And cherry blossoms can be seen.
The yellow sun is shining bright,
Giving off its cheerful light.
Birds are flying here and there,
Small animals scurrying everywhere.
A bright, full moon on a clear night,
And the stars are shining bright.
I love these parts about the spring,
The time when nature's taking wing.

GREAT entry........WOW
Now we really have a contest going.....this is getting exciting.

Wow! Such a cool contest. I love the entries so far. It looks like most are going with the Spring theme. I tried the St. Patty's Day Theme.


St. Patrick’s Day

Everywhere we look we see green

It always happens on March seventeen

We wear green to show our pride

Of all the Irish worldwide

With shamrocks on our attire

We sing with the choir

It is our luck and fate

To be Irish on this date.
