This contest is for teen poets who are looking for a fun challenge! In acrostic poetry, the first letter of each line spells out a word. The content of your poem must relate to your chosen word. (ex. If your word is flower, then your poem should be about — you guessed it – flowers!)
The winner and runner-ups will have their poems published in Teen Ink magazine. The overall winner will receive a $25 Amazon gift card!
