signs of spring under my nose
and I’ve been too busy
too distracted
too pre-occupied
too too to notice
until now
when a friendly nuzzle
and a happy woof!
led me to smell the flowers
it’s national poetry day!
One of my favorite things to do with poetry when I am in a large group (um, like a class) is to create poems from the words around us. It’s called a “found” poem because you can’t change the words or otherwise manipulate them…you get what you find.
This morning on Twitter I discovered a blog from @GuardianBooks that was using book titles as poems, so I went to my own shelf and grabbed a few, stacked them, and took a picture. I’m not sure that I like the order of the words (that you can move around), so maybe I’ll come back later and re-sort them. You can, too, if you want 🙂
Just Read the Titles
