National Poetry Month, Celebrating Student Work 29/30
Poetry Friday is held at Buffy’s Blog today. Thank you, Buffy.
We’re coming to a close with celebrating student work. What I love about all these poets is the range of development. Many were accepted into the Young Americans Poetry Digest.
I have an idea for next year to teach poetry earlier in the year as a way to teach formatting with either Google Docs or Word.
My skin is like cinnamon
My eyes are like chocolate
My nails are Valentine’s colors
My heart holds weirdness
That is black as space
I live in a house and eat white chocolate
