I've been meaning to post this. My 12-year-old, Evan, won 1st place at the North Dakota State Fair for his poem on North Dakota. (And $30 - which was VERY exciting)
North Dakota
by Evan Amundson
North Dakota, Oh, North Dakota
With you lush fields of emerald green,
And bone chilling winters which I know will soon pass.
North Dakota, Oh, North Dakota,
With you old towns of the West,
The future for you will always be headed for the best.
North Dakota, Oh, North Dakota,
With your monstrous floods within,
Mad, or calm, you are our home.
So, take my hand, and dance around,
Although you make not a sound,
You are our faithful home.
Morning to night,
We shall not part,
You will be our everlasting home.

This really is not bad! Congrats! Remind him, though, that there's very little money in poetry, so he'll have to go into advertising instead.
