Hello! My name is Dmitriy. Our team is developing a mobile app for children's sleep. We do everything we can to make children from all over the world fall asleep better and feel great listening to the best bedtime stories in the most convenient app.
Now we are looking for a children's poet who will write us a children's story in poems for falling asleep. If we like the result, we will be happy to cooperate with you long-term.
Requirements:
- extensive experience in writing poems for children
- portfolio with finished works that have feedback (awards and so on)
- good imagination (it will be ideal if you have a powerful visualization, you can come up with a universe and funny children's characters who want to fall asleep as soon as possible)
Narrative highlights:
- the world of cute children's animal heroes
- In the story itself, the main character travels before going to sleep (the story itself can be interpreted as a hero's dream)
- history must have a moral
- at the end of the story, the hero falls asleep
Structural issues.
Verse part - you will need to write a short story in verse, consisting of 4 verses, each verse should contain 6 stanzas of 4 lines. A total of 96 verse lines.
Rhyming structure for the narrative part - use the following rhyming style - XAXA,
where X is a line without an explicit rhyme,
a is a line with a strict rhyme.
Chorus part - you will need to write one cyclical verse-chorus (4 lines), which will have all the properties of the chorus and permeate your story. In the chorus, use the rhyming structure that you think is appropriate.
Total number of lines (verses + chorus) = 100 lines.
Below I will leave a link to an example
