Do you like writing poems about insects? The North Carolina State University Insect Museum wants to hear them!
The Hexapod Haiku Challenge runs through March 20. The contest judges are looking for short poems that celebrate insect life:
"We would love to have haiku, senryū, haiga, and pseudohaiku that feature any familiar arthropod associated with the field of entomology ..."
Visit the contest website for more details. There's a special category for poets under the age of 13. I especially enjoyed looking at this poem about a bee from an eight-year-old runner-up in last year's contest.
Good luck!

Yay! This sounds like so much fun - I am going to start thinking in haiku!
Michele, bee poems would be most welcome. I think I saw at least two about bees in last year's winners. Good luck!
