Another writing contest. Sally Apokedak at All About Children’s Books has announced a poetry contest asking you to write a stanza of a “feechie love song.” These are common throughout the Wilderking trilogy of books by author Jonathan Rogers.

Here’s a sample stanza from Book 2, The Secret of the Swamp King:

She smells just as sweet as a mud turtle’s feet.
Her hair is as soft as a possum.
Once I walked by her side,
but she knocked me cross-eyed,
It took me a week to uncross ’em.

The winner gets a signed set of all three books of the trilogy, The Bark of the Bog Owl, The Secret of the Swamp King, and The Way of the Wilderking. These Christian fantasy books are published by Broadman & Holman and make excellent family summer reading.

Please encourage your kids to enter!!!

You can read more details about the contest in this post here at All About Children’s Books. You will need to email Sally your contest entry or be bold and share it with everyone in the comments section. If you want a good laugh, go read the ones that are already posted.

Deadline is May 31, 2006.
