National Poetry Month

So what am I doing to celebrate this most wonderful month?

1.  Plan to write a poem a day.

2. Thirty Days~Thirty Students~Thirty Poems at my Check It Out blog.  Will feature student work each day.

3. Poetry Postcard project. Receive a poem on a postcard from one of my students.

The prompt at One Single Impression is “avatar”. When I read the word, I thought the movie and the little computer avatar of me on Yahoo. Decided to look up the definition of avatar and found this:

“embodiment: a new personification of a familiar idea; “the embodiment of hope”; “the incarnation of evil”; “the very avatar of cunning”–wordnet.princeton.edu

she flings seeds here, there
her avatar, kindness, shows
spring’s profuse blossoms

What are you doing for National Poetry Month?
