Never Enough Poetry

Don't say goodbye to poetry just because National Poetry Month is over! Enjoy poetry year 'round by visiting poetry sites. A few favorites are listed below:

Poetry for Children blog http://poetryforchildren.blogspot.com/ features new poems and poetry books for children.

Representative Poetry Online http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/display/ is sponsored by the University of Toronto, Canada, and holds a large, searchable catalog of poets and poems.

Children's Haiku Garden http://homepage2.nifty.com/haiku-eg/ offers original haiku by children from around the world, many with accompanying artwork.

Giggle Poetry http://www.gigglepoetry.com/ is a fun site for humorous children's poems written by such favorite kids' poets as Bruce Lansky, Kenn Nesbitt, and Eric Ode.

Poets.org http://www.poets.org/ has poetry and a wealth of information about poetry. This site also sponsors A Poem a Day, which sends you a poem a day via email. Sign up here: http://www.poets.org/poemADay.php

These are just the top of the iceberg. Get online or go to your library to find more poetry.
