 In celebration of "the white cloud's intricate maze, And the blue sky's beautiful sheen," I am hereby announcing SmallWorld's In Just-spring Mudluscious Poetry Contest. It's really quite simple. Just copy and paste this orange-lettered spring green lettered section onto your own blog along with a poem that in some way celebrates spring. (Copy the contest photo above if you want, as well!) Leave me a comment with a link to your contest entry. The poem doesn't have to overtly use the word "spring," but it should in some way evoke the feeling of spring. If you don't have a blog, just leave a poem in the comments.
I'll be running this particular contest until April 10, so you've got plenty of time to find just the perfect poem. I will randomly choose a winner, who will receive a box in the mail filled with some of my favorite spring things (think gardens, good smells, and prettiness, unless the winner is male, in which case, scratch the good smells and pretty things)
This sounds like fun. Now, I'm unable to find my little book of sundry poems I've written over the years and I'm not great at writing any off of the top of my head. However, this immediately made me think of a post I did last month. I had put together a slideshow of pictures I'd been taking around town of spring blossoms. I also included a poem by Robert Frost that had just shouted the joy of spring and the heart glad in it's return. As well, a small quote by Algernon Charles Swinburne that seemed quite appropriate for a slideshow of spring blossoms. Instead of reposting all of that here, or totally messing with a post that I did before this contest even started, I am linking to that post so that you may see it in all of it's original glory. :D You still have a couple of days before this ends, so grab a couple of interesting spring poems that speak to you, and head on over to Small World to post about them!
