I don't know why I haven't been reading them to the kids all along, I loved poems as a child. I did however read <a href="http://tintinatie.com/About.php" rel="nofollow"> Natalie Tinti's </a> book titled, "Sewing a Friendship," a cute fun book about the importance of healthy friendships- so I feel validated in the fact that at least I am reading good wholesome books to the kids. I plan to make more of a conscious effort to read more poetry thanks to this post.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957358850375701366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979108620698271598.post-84085452491624755782010-05-01T04:02:51.322-07:002010-05-01T04:02:51.322-07:00Thanks for your kind words about my Poetry Month p...Thanks for your kind words about my Poetry Month poems!Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979108620698271598.post-28603582891056403832010-04-30T21:48:41.276-07:002010-04-30T21:48:41.276-07:00I'm late, but here, with an original poem call...I'm late, but here, with an original poem called "old hopes" - http://misserinmarie.blogspot.com/2010/04/there-are-dog-droppings-and-dead-birds.html<br /><br />thanks for doing the roundup!!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15192628745431017199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979108620698271598.post-32381483396218501492010-04-30T16:45:17.870-07:002010-04-30T16:45:17.870-07:00I'm offering up "Stanza," a picture ...I'm offering up "Stanza," a picture book in rhyme --written by Jill Esbaum and illustrated by Jack E.
