I wanted to begin this post with: “And the CYBILS Poetry Finalists for 2011 are…” but I can’t until Sunday, January 1, 2012. Sorry, I am sworn to secrecy.
So instead I present a list poem of all my Poetry Friday poems throughout the year:
Poetry Friday 2011
Say you are lonely
saying a name
Turn over your hand
Snowball fight today
students’ Fibonacci
on imagination
life is short
hyacinths
spring and all
there’s a poem right there
hot summer air
celebrating student poetry
your heart is strong
I have picked up your pencil off the ground
Shift, space typing keys
Vowel bat
This is my first memory
first grade poetry
June arrives
Let evening come
bed in summer
A summer of
east coast trips
the words under the words
Road work ahead
in reverse
my writing room
After apple-picking
the haunted palace
a ragged envelope
I come from
only in death
there are many naughty children
Candle time
In doing this I discovered that August was a vacation month, NO Posts. Poetry Friday round-up is at The Drift Record by Julie Larios.
Happy New Year. Check back on Sunday to see who the Cybils Poetry finalists are.
Happy reading.

Can’t wait for that announcement to be made!! There have been so many wonderful poetry books for kids this year.
Gosh, the combination of titles from the year is amazing – just look at that first “stanza” in your list. Beautiful. Ditto the vowel bat stanza. And the east coast trips, and the apple picking….
what a great idea. i did something like this a few years back with first lines from the first posts each month but i never thought to look at the titles.
hmm. maybe i need to look back at the year again…
fun!
Great way to capture the memories of your year. I enjoyed it even though I haven’t been here at poetry Friday very long ( to try to remember).
Fascinating!
What a neat exercise! You are so smart!
Very fun!
