I must admit that as much as I appreciate poetry, I also get a kick out of skits and pieces that mock overwrought poetry, a la Nigel Molesworth's observation that "Peotry is sissy stuff that rhymes" and the bit in Blackadder III where Pitt the Younger starts spouting off pimply adolescent verse beginning with, "Why don't nice girls like me?" Hey, after having dated a high school boyfriend who said, "Poetry is prose for elitists" (knowing full well that poetry was what I wrote), I get to laugh a little.<BR/><BR/>I went by the Barnes and Noble the other day, and was please to find a Poetry Month display, but not so pleased with the display itself. <I>Here's a Little Poem</I> should have been in that display.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-40890248905019487972008-04-02T16:35:00.000-04:002008-04-02T16:35:00.000-04:00Happy bloggiversary!

I used to do a lot with poetry in the library during my three years as an elementary librarian.

I hope people do sit up and take notice. That's why this month I've decided to highlight a poetry book each day, with some ideas for using them in instruction. I suppose titling the entries "Poetry in the Classroom" is a bit misleading, as I hope librarians will use some of these ideas as well.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to your month-long birthday bash!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18350907653629775293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-25193513795458002732008-04-01T17:05:00.000-04:002008-04-01T17:05:00.000-04:00Jama,Oh, I'll be stopping by for soup and tea...an...Jama,<BR/><BR/>Oh, I'll be stopping by for soup and tea...and posts about red dresses!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Susan,<BR/><BR/>Thanks!
