I did a fair amount of live-blogging for PLA this month, so all my serious thoughts were all dried up – except to say that PLA is incredible and I learned a ton.<\/p>\n

So, to wrap-up Poetry Month, I wanted to share a display my coworker Krishna put together:<\/p>\n

\"display\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had slots for children to write their own pocket poems, and some of them are too good not to illustrate (no grammar or spelling altered).<\/p>\n

Poem #1: dope<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"dope\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My interpretation:<\/p>\n

\"dope-illus-sm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Poem #2: My Zootch<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"zootch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s what Shel Silverstein had to say about that:<\/p>\n

\"zootch-shel-sm\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Poem #3:\u00a0untitled<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"myth\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My interpretation:<\/p>\n

\"myth-illus\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To all budding poets, I salute you!<\/p>\n
