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.
Once there was a leprechaun
Who had a pet Golragon
It couldn't fly yet
So the leprechaun tries
To teach it to fly
First he went to a forest
And put it on a branch
Then told it to fly
But it was afraid
Next he went to the desert
And put it on top of a sand dune
Then told it to fly
But it was afraid
Then it fell in a river
And struggled until it reached a waterfall
Flew in the air mid fall
And returned back to the leprechaun
Golragon
Noun: Contraction between gold and dragon: A type of flying insect that can swim and fly
The Golragon swims through the river until reaching the waterfall and then flies away.
