You just want to read? These entries will be freshly written for a contest. Since I plan on joining many then I'm putting them all in a book. Sit back and enjoy it. I'll try to do a (poem) line count, (story) word count, prompt, and which contest I entered in. Though I won't be mentioning it in the piece, but "The Contest Challenge" will be a part of a contest I enter since it's about entering into a contest following its rules. Wish me luck!

THE POEM
A look at what St. Patrick had to offer the emerald isle.
WHAT I LIKED
I liked how the poem tackled the every day interaction St. Patrick had with the people of Ireland. The interaction may have been simple, but it left lifelong traditions.
STRUCTURE
This is an acrostic poem. An acrostic poem is where the first letter of a line is used to spell out a word or a phrase in the poem. There is no apparent rythme scheme.
MECHANICS
I did not spot any spelling mistakes. The poem is easy to read. If anything, I might suggest increasing the font to make it easier to read.
If anything, this line seems a little awkward to read and I wonder if there was a typo or a missing word: "At times he green was important.
DESCRIPTIONS
I liked: "Kites are flown in the wind." It' a nice, easy visual that's easy to imagine.
Stripes, dots, and patches
Hiding in the grass
Shades of brown, red, and white
Claws gripping the trees
Variety of colors
Flashing by
Coloring the greenery
Filling the landscape
Nature's best
In shades of green
Filling the land
With happiness
