aspiring children's poet

do any of you know any aspiring children poets? Nobody I know wants to write for kids. i would love to, and I'm thinking my odds aren't too terrible because no one else seems interested in this area of lit.

Dr. Suess didn't only write for children.

The giving tree is a great book too.
