And for the teachers...here is a link to a site that suggests how you can do "30 days of poetry" with your class. Or by yourself, I suppose, if you want to experiment with poetry. (This one is for the upper grades; the previous link was for younger kids). It even tells you how to make a chapbook if you are especially proud of your poems.

(hint to the kiddies out there: a handmade chapbook of nice poetry would make a Mother's Day gift nicer than anything you could buy with money)
