So sorry!

I have a found poem today in the form of my husband's email to me about a rabid skunk at his school. Call it a pastoral piece. :)

I have just stumbled onto the whole Poetry Friday phenom, having posted a Rilke (Autumn) that Sara (if I may be informal)posted awhile back...I blog about Brooklyn's Prospect Park and often use poetry, and now I have another reason to TGIF! Thanks for a cool idea--I hope newbies are welcome!

Hi, Kelly - I have Eve Merriam's A WEATHER POEM up for people to read over at The Drift Record
Julie

P.S. Last night I hunted around for the Fall list of who is hosting POETRY FRIDAY - but couldn't find it. Is it posted somewhere? All I could find were the Summer dates....

jone said...

This week's poem on The Stenhouse Blog is Straight Line by Georgia Heard.

Carol said...

One of my favorite professors always told us that scientists make fabulous poets, because they observe the world so closely. I'm in today with a review of Georgia Heard and Jennifer McDonough's fabulous new professional book, A PLACE FOR WONDER. This book helps teachers to help kids become observers, scientists, and poets.
