What’s that smell? Wow! It sure smells good. Is that the smell of new paper, new pencils, and new notebooks with spines yet to be broken? Wait just a second! That means… (Drum roll) The beginning of the homeschool year has started! (Thunderous applause) And that means that the TVE Lighthouse is up and running again! The Lighthouse staff have put together a fun poetry challenge for all you TVE kids, to kick off this new and fantastic school year! But before I give you the poetry challenge guidelines, let me introduce you to The Lighthouse staff!

POETRY CHALLENGE TIME!
Alright. Time for the poetry challenge. First off, YOUR POETRY MUST COME OUT OF YOUR OWN CREATIVE MIND. No quoting Edger Allen Poe, people! Second off, NO EXPLICIT LANGUAGE. We will not accept any foul poetry submissions. Third off, WE ACCEPT ALL TYPES OF POETRY! We don’t hold grudges against haikus or anything. POETRY IS TO BE SUBMITTED ON THE 23rd OF SEPTEMBER. You can SUBMIT YOUR POEM AT: thelighthousetve@gmail.com. Our staff will decide who wins first place, and whoever gets first place will be messaged personally by a member of our staff to congratulate you for your hard work! ALL SUBMISSIONS WILL BE POSTED IN THE LIGHTHOUSE NEWSPAPER ON THE 29th OF SEPTEMBER.
Our staff is hoping to see some truly creative poetry pieces on the 23rd of September. Until then:
HAVE FUN HAIKU
WE WISH YOU GOOD LUCK
HAVE FUN BEING CREATIVE
YOU CREATIVE KIDS!
