A Plea for Submissions

Once upon a time,
There was a girl who loved to rhyme.
She knew there were others who liked poems too
And she wanted to share those poems with you.
So she set up a blog
Where she posted a haiku about a frog,
And some poems that were kind of weird;
However there was one thing that she feared:
That no one would submit their work.
And that would make her feel like a dork.
Alas! She thought, Why isn't there a submission yet?
So she is begging you:
Send submissions to
ebgirlscout1@verizon.net!


Seriously. Please. I would love to have some submissions for the blog!

Thought I'd add a Haiku here!

So a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. It's a poem that is three lines, and each line has a certain amount of syllables. They always go like this:

First Line: 5 syllables
Second Line: 7 syllables
Third Line: 5 syllables

So here's my haiku:

Frog hops and frog drops
into the mud puddle. Gross!
Frog is messy-yuck!


Try writing some haiku of your own! If you want them up here (or something else you wrote or like to read), send them to me at ebgirlscout1@verizon.net and I'll put them up!
