Poetry Friday is hosted at Reading to the Core. Thanks, Catherine.
On Saturday, I received my copy of The Poetry Anthology: Celebrations compiled by Janet Wong and Sylvia Vardell.
It will be awhile before my celebration day occurs: Super Bowl Sunday. I surprised my self by writing this poem as I am not a football fanatic like my co-worker, the PE teacher. She could have written this.
This page is from the student anthology. I am so excited to be a part of this community.
Designed for librarians and teachers and there’s a student version available. In April, during National Poetry Month,Susan Blackaby and I will be doing a reading and poetry activity at the Barnes and Noble near my school. (While not an independent book store, as there isn’t one for kids in Vancouver, WA, this B/N does support the schools well).
Happy Poetry.
Happy Friday.

Congrats! Glad to have my poems in the same spot as yours!
Congratulations, Jone! Your poem perfectly captures the spirit of Super Bowl Sunday, and is making me hungry for chili 🙂
Kids are going to LOVE your poem, Jone! Such fun!
Congratulations dearest Jone! Love it!
Hi, Jone – I love that your poem gives football its own “holiday”! And I can just see young fans jumping up and down. (Poetry fans as well as football fans.)
