Welcome to The Budding Poet!
Welcome! Here is a place for all the budding poets to post their work.
To the poets...
Every poem you send us on email will be read by us and most will be put on the site. Everyone who has a poem on the site will have a certificate sent back on email when it goes on the site :-)
We only need your first name and your age, which we will put by your poem, and an email address to send your certificate (which we will not put by your poem).
If you like, you can draw a picture or send us a picture of your pet, or what ever you wrote the poem about.
We would like it to be all on email please :-)
Good luck, and we look forward to seeing all of your work soon
Please tell an adult that you have sent your work here.
Paula :-)
Dear Parents
