Poetry Idol
All Ages
Who do you idolise?
We’re inviting 4-18 year-olds to write a poem about their favorite person.
So, who do you idolise? Is it your mom or dad? Your best friend? Your brother or sister? Perhaps there is a famous person, from a sports or film star to an author or musician, that you admire and aspire to be like.
Why are they your favorite person and why do they inspire you?
Grab your pen and get writing! From acrostics and free verse to haikus and everything in-between, we welcome your poem in any style to celebrate your poetry idol.
Selected poems will feature in a special Poetry Idol anthology and our favorite poet will win a $25 iTunes gift card!
