Call for Poems: Invent-an-Insect
This Earth Day, invent an insect! Write a poem about the new species you've "discovered". What is its habitat? Its habits? Describe it and give it an insectilicious name of your own invention. What would a hot dog bug look like? How about a bubble bee? Or a clockroach? What does it eat? Where does it live? Get creative with your answers! Illustrate or embellish your poem however you’d like. Open to all ages.
DEADLINE: April 14, 2024
Guidelines:
- You may submit up to three individual poems.
- Each poem must fit legibly on one side of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper.
