well I guess I can see Petra's point of view. Why invite outsiders (a terrible word - but you know what I mean) to an Eratosphere event? I don't see the need. Let it instead be a challenge to us to come up with enough children's poems to make the contest go forward. If there are not enough, then do something else with the guest's "appearance". If we can't come up with anything worthwhile then let him show us how it's done. It does not have to be a write off (pun intended). We can learn something and we can be challenged. I hope we all rise to the challenge - good or bad.
In my probably uninvited and unneeded opinion, this should be a contest for members, and we should either rise to the challenge or ,if not, be shown what it *could* be all about by our guest and host posting poems (perhaps from those you would consider as "invitees") to educate us, but don't make it a contest at that point. Certainly the guest would still have a ton of input and this should still serve a useful function.
