I’m like you and didn’t really get into poetry once. My nephew Kyle now write beautiful poetry and has opened my eyes to all that I’ve been missing.

Count me in, I’ll give this book a try. Who knows, maybe I’ll start to love poetry.

[...] whence I speak – been there, read that.) It even includes a work from a carp(e) libris favorite, Justin Courter, plus a bit of his novel Skunk. As usual for me, Courter did not disappoint. [...]

AFTER KILMER

I hope that I may one day see
Them hanging from the gallows tree
Who plotted foreign wars from home–
It would be lovelier than a poem.

My first intro. into poetry was the Shel Silverstein books….which I later used in my classroom as a teacher. I’ve always enjoyed poetry, and I was teaching my 4th graders to enjoy it, as well. One their favorite lessons was Picnic Poetry where, after learning about various types of poems, they wrote their own poem about picnics. They were then typed up onto white paper plates along with a giant cartoon ant that they had colored however colorful they wanted stapled to the plate. These were then all displayed on a super cute bulleton board that was made out of a red and white checked table cloth and plastic ketchup and mustard bottles stapled on the edges. We ended the poetry unit with a class picnic…..minus the ants!!

Thanks so much!!

I haven’t read much poetry, but I did enjoy the poems that I did have a chance to read.

My seventh grade teacher loved poetry. She read lots of poetry to us and taught us to love it. Her explanation of the poem and the history behind it made the poem meaningful to us. I would like to thank her for this gift because I love poetry too.
