Group Project: Life as a Child

Hello fellow poets. This is Sydney. I am asking you to help pull together poems about any subject for my cousin whos turning 4 years old this May. It has to be age appropriate for her to read. It can be educational, funny, sad, etc. It could be any subject such as: colors, animals, kids tv shows, personal experiance, shapes, etc. But keep it simple. Sometimes, my cousin has a short attention span as any child can be. you dont have to write a poem. You can write a story or think of ideas of poems or stories. This being a group project, I am allowing you decide whether or not this group project can be turned into a book for people to buy or just do this for fun.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
