You may also wish to visit Poems For Bulletin Boards. I enjoy the different WordPress.com themes, and presenting poems in different ways. Readers are welcome to use my poems in their lessons and art, with proper credit (my name and the blog).

Thank you,

Poems To Share

You are welcome to reprint my poems with proper credit. Ideas include bulletin boards in classrooms, libraries, hospitals, nursing homes – places where a short poem may be an encouragement to someone or help with a poetry lesson. Thank you.

Creative Notes

This year, I also read and reread poetry books by Barbara Crooker.  One of the pages at her site is Books by Barbara Crooker.

As I reread the work of poets, I also begin to learn more about craft.

With a new school year beginning for many, The Haiku Foundation Education Resources may be useful.
