Time to Vote

Readers,

I have an opportunity to enter my writing in a Children's Poetry Contest.  There is no fee to enter, and I have the chance to win $500 and publication in Children's Writer.

Specifications:
Submit a single poem, collection of poems, or verse story for children of any age, to 300 words.  Entries may be serious or humorous, and take any poetic form.  Winners will be selected based on quality of verse - including rhythm, meter, word choice, wordplay, imagery, and the use of other poetic devices.  Above all, the winning entries will have appeal for young readers.



My story, The Tra La La Tree, is too long (over 500 words in total).  However, I have written other children's poetry.  Here is a blog entry that contains the poems I am considering:  BLOG

So, here are my questions:


1) One poem or collection?
2) If only one poem, which?
3) If collection, what should I call it?

There's something different about The Clock and Polka Party that make them stand out to me more than the others. I would enter one of those two individually.
