What will you do to celebrate? I am planning to put up a “poet tree” later this week. I’ll also take out my poem-a-day book and share a poem at lunch each day we’re home. I’ll aim for a poetry tea time each week. Last, I’m going to have each of my children pick a poem to memorize this month. Here are some links: National Poetry Month at Poets.org Poetry Tea Time Index post to poetry books I’ve reviewed over the years on my blog (shameless plug)

My 12 year old son (just started 7th grade) is a super creative kid. He's very interested in poetry right now - writing it and reading it. He is working through WWS 1 this year for his writing curriculum, however, I'd like to feed this love of poetry. While I will research different poets for him to read and ponder, I'd like to find him a writing curriculum to help him understand the basics. In fact, he asked if I had "any books that could help him understand and write poetry better." In my googling, I've found a few curricula that help with poetry memorization, but we already do that. And that's really not what he's looking for. Any suggestions? -
I would like experience opinions on whether it matters with this series of lectures if it's the DVD version or the CD version and why you prefer one or the other. It seems that since it's a poetry course, then visuals aren't as important. Thanks! -
Touchpress The Sonnets by William Shakespeare DS is studying the sonnets this fall at the CC and I remembered seeing this link shared a while back. Scroll down to where the numbers are listed to watch each video. Re-sharing for those who might find it similarly helpful. I'm drooling over the ones read by Patrick Stewart (our favorite Star Trek captain) and David Tennant (our favorite Doctor!). :drool5: We have an old iPad that's not cooperating so we are watching the free ones on our laptops for now. There's an iPad/ iPhone app for those who want to try that (not free)!

Greetings! Does anyone have a recommendation for a book to introduce poetry to a 5th grade boy? I've been remiss in the last couple of years to include poetry in our homeschooling. I'm looking for something fun and interesting. Your recommendations are greatly appreciated!
