Lovely to read your ponderings on poetry, Jone! Thanks for guesting her here, Kirby. 🙂 It’s also cool that some students really “get” poetry more, for whatever reason. I’m currently actually reading a novel in verse right now, called ELEVATED by Elana Johnson. A creative way to tell a story!
Jone, Thank you for crinkling my nose with your words. I would appreciate the comfort poem. I too have a friend “going home” as she puts it. What I choose to take to her when I visit is a poem. Or an acorn. Or the sent of daphne. Only the beautiful and true will do.
I loved reading How to Write a Poem. The words themselves were lyrical and created a magical dance. But when you repeated the lines, I found myself spinning and pulled into the music even more. Thank you, T.S.!
Great post, Jone! I love the way you’re encouraging “Poetry Plus” (poetry plus other areas of the curriculum)!
Thank you, Janet. I try my very best.
Thank you, Kirby for the opportunity to share my love of poetry.

Thank you Carol. I will need to look for that book.
Lovely choice of a poem for today. I love the Pantoum form and I also love writing Haikus. Thanks for a thought-provoking post.
Thanks.

There is a poem in your words.
