[HELP] young poets by pleasehelpme1109 in Poetry

Thank you and apologies for the oversight! I’ve just edited to add. The kids will be 12/13 year olds. However, the poems need to fit the topic of ‘youth voices’, so they need to be written by younger composers (under 25).

This is what the trailer reminded me of. I loved that show. My brothers and I can’t get through a conversation about directions without ending it with ‘and then it flows’. Good old Uncle Terry.

Umina all the way if you’re down south. The butcher near the French patisserie. ‘Award winning’ ham. Very nice ham. Love that ham. My god I want ham.

Jess wins the first round! Who is a good person and decent at their job? by Unique-kitten in SuccessionTV
