A poem about writing on this rainy Poetry Friday
All She Wrote by Harryette Mullen Forgive me, I’m no good at this. I can’t write back. I never read your letter. I can’t say I got your note. I haven’t had the strength to open the envelope.

During that time I've been watching a small tree's leaves change colors as I descend the stairs to the parking lot of my apartment building. For some reason, it caught my eye while… Continue reading Poetry Friday: It’s Autumn Here in New England

Poetry Friday is here!
“Hurt No Living Thing” Hurt no living thing: Ladybird, nor butterfly, Nor moth with dusty wing, Nor cricket chirping cheerily, Nor grasshopper so light of leap, Nor dancing gnat, nor beetle fat, Nor harmless worms that creep. --Christina Rossetti Poetry Friday is being held at Read Write Believe this week.

Pencils: A Poem by a Former Student
During the 2005 - 06 school year I had a student who needed a new pencil every day. We have communal supplies in my classroom, so I had more than enough to give him. HOWEVER, it got totally out of control. In April 2006, we did something I call Paper Bag Poetry, which is where… Continue reading Pencils: A Poem by a Former Student
