My little sister is too young to have an account, but has recently started writing her own things. I told her my short poem and she wrote her own! Not for the competition though. Hers is:

In the heat of the moment
I froze.

I could show her her kitty? And if you've got any feedback for her I'm sure she'd love it ^^

So adorable! Your little sister is smart. When I took my classes to volunteer at the crisis center we learned there are three actions when a crisis comes up. Fight Flight or Freeze. Good poem, your sister has talent. I'm not sure how old she is but if shes young then she is off to a good start.

Pain

I believe in that, which is not seen.
I call it truth, faith, hope, life.

Here's my poem.

http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/work.php?id=105583
Don't let the Nargles bite.
And don't let a dementor kiss you good night.


It's a charm actually. It keeps away the Nargles- Luna

My kitty is certainly called Cheshire :wink:

And here's my entry:

Rhythmic.
_________Incessant.
__________________Monotonous.

The silence dictated this breath.

_____________________________Pierced.
_____________________Cracked.
________________Split.

This isn't for the contest but I wrote another, called Snap.

A thin string strung too tight.
I snap.

Ooof...My poem was supposed to look like this....


A line of leafless trees:

empty

hollow

dead.
When the night is closing in,
Is falling on my skin,
Oh, God will you come close.

Okay, here's my entry! :D
When in Doubt, always choose 'C.'
