He makes a world here out of frog songs
Apr. 2nd, 2011 08:26 pmAh, my poor neglected blog. Life has been a bit crazy so far this year, but it's never too crazy for [Poetry Month]! I'm a day late starting because I was attending the ACRL conference through noon today and I got home too late/tired last night to worry about posting a poem. So I'll post two today! Check back daily for new poems throughout the month! :)
I'm trying something new this year. I saw [an article] a while ago that suggested the idea of playing "poetry tag". I loved the idea, so I decided to go with it. I picked a random poem to start and from there I will use the last word of each poem to pick the next day's poem. I'm looking forward to finding lots of interesting new poems this way! Part of my poem-hunting will be accomplished using the Poetry Foundation's [awesome poetry app], which you should totally check out if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch.
Happy Poetry Month!

A poem lovely as a tree
Apr. 30th, 2010 08:13 amTwo poems for today because I already had one picked out, but then my dad sent me this one because he is madly jealous of my new tree cataloguing project. (And besides, how could I resist squeezing in an extra poem?)

And for the last poem:
( 'Where the Sidewalk Ends' by Shel Silverstein )
The sidewalk ends and so does National Poetry Month 2010. I hope you've enjoyed at least some (or even one!) of my selections this year. :)
