My first published poem appeared in the New Zealand Herald on January 11, 1985
It was placed in the Children's Holiday Competition and I received $5 (I can't remember what placing)
It's not anything amazing for a 7 y/o but I'm very pleased that Mum has kept it all these years - not just my first published poem but my first paid piece of writing.
That's so sweet, Kirsten. How nice that your mother saved it. I can see that your poetic history goes way back. :)
