Very nice. Now do one for all the other sections!

I look forward to reading your piece on Yahoo Plugins x.

Seriously though, I enjoyed it, it rhymed and everything.

Sorry about the bad experience you had in the poetry section, some of those guys seemed overly harsh to me...

Help me write a rhyme?

I am the doctor of birds and beasts and animals,

That I have learned to care since my childhood days;

I loved the dogs in the street, and they came to me,

Showing their physical pain in their paws to see.

Well finish the rest !

Ideas for celebrating National Poetry Month??

I like the idea of the poetry reading. Also think it'd be great to create a poetry book for the class, grade or school. I still have one we put together when I was in 6th grade!

Any local poets that might be able to do something with the kids? Or maybe you can get parents involved - the kids ask their parents what their favorites were. They bring them in and some of the parents will probably even read them.

Maybe, if you have a sponge activity, you give the kids the start of a poem everyday and they have to complete it.

Do you have a daily in-house TV? Announcements? You could do one there. Or give the kids a word and everyone writes a rhyming word on a piece of paper and puts it in a box at lunch time. Draw one out per day and share it, and give the kid something. You could end up writing a poem, doing a sentence per day.

Who is the poet that wrote so many mixed up poems, like runny babbit instead of bunny rabbit. I can not think of his name, but if you have someone that can read those, you may have kids and adults crying!

I also really like Love That Dog by Sharon Creech. It follows a boy through the process of creating a poem. It also introduces students to a lot of different types.

What about all the places you see poetry? Examples galore! Songs, jingles, greeting cards...see how widespread it is! Okay, I'm getting carried away now.
