Time to Start Thinking Poetically.

Of course, when is it NOT time to start thinking poetry?

American National Poetry Month will happen in April, as it does every year.

I want to launch a contest -- I want to offer a prize to the class which reads the most poems in the month of April. I also want the students and the teachers to send me their opinions of the poetry.

I think it will be inspiring.

I only need to think of what the winners will get. I am thinking of offering a free, all-day, school visit.

I am all ears as to what readers think.
