It's an amazing list, don't you agree? I hope you'll come back each day this month to dig a little deeper into the world of children's poetry.
What a great line-up, Tricia! I can't wait to read all the interviews.
ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be great!
ReplyDeleteLove your new template, too. Beautiful.
Great list, Tricia! And you look lovely in green....
ReplyDeleteWowzers! (Or is that Wowsers?)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous list. Looking forward to them all! Thank you for doing this. And a belated tip of the hat to the lovely new blog design.
Great work by these writers, and also by Tricia in putting this list together. When I read poems suitable for children I feel something of the child remaining in me. I recently wrote this:
ReplyDeleteTURN POETS' CORNER.
Walk down poets' lane,
Climb poets' hill.
Swim in poets' pool,
Visit poets' mill.
Sit in the shade of poets' tree,
Wander in poets' park.
Cross poets' river,
By means of poets' ark.
Eat poets' pie,
Drink poets' ale.
Study poets' verses,
Read poets' mail.
Fly in poets' jumbo jet,
Sail in poets' yacht.
Turn poets' corner,
And see who you can spot.
