I announce with great gladness...

...I'm part of March Madness!  The children's poetry challenge, that is.  64 entrants were chosen, based on a submitted rhyme, and we'll face off in March.  Each player is given a challenge partner and a word, and then a day to write a poem for children that features that word.  Votes are tallied, the winner moves on, the loser is out.  Last year, words included "kinkier" and "nonconfrontational"!  Famous children's author Jane Yolen was knocked out in round 1 in 2012, so who knows what can happen!  I'm excited.
