National Poetry Month

As some of you know, April is National Poetry Month.  Many a kid's lit blogger will be celebrating the event by posting original poems.  I am not one of them.  I've once been described as being "as poetic as a brick."  As a kid, most of my attempts to write poetry resulted in mice being nice or toads hopping down the road.

The good news is there will be plenty of people out there who do it well.  Check out Gregory K's blog starting on April first, where he will be a posting an original poem each day during the month.  You go, Greg!  And I'm not just saying that because you have a great name.

Greg Trine is a truly inspirational writer and speaker. When he visited my class, he captivated my students with stories of his challenges and successes as a writer, inspiring them with lessons of perseverance and encouragement. The activities he worked on with them showed how they could embody traits of character just as noble and just as funny as Melvin Beederman's. He was very entertaining, and the evil laugh contest was a hoot!
