Belfast Library invites teens to write haikus for Poetry Tree
During the Month of April the Belfast Free Library Teen Room is holding a short poem contest to celebrate National Poetry Month and Earth Day.
For this contest, teens write a short poem, a haiku or "two-line,” and hang it on the tree in the BFL Teen Room.
All poems need to include at least one (can include more) seasonal word or word having to do with the earth, nature, and/or our environment. There will be prizes for the strongest poem, the runner-up, and for a poem selected by random drawing (everyone who writes a poem will be entered into the drawing).
Guidelines for writing the poems, as well as cards for hanging them, will be provided.
Guidelines and "leaves" for the poetry tree are attached. The contest is open to ages 11 - 17.
