pickthis books shows a variety of amazing poems. Something i love is that it makes for a great collection and even come with tips and writing prompts children could use!
Beautiful stories, starts by explaining the author and meanings. Then includes so many different poems about themes
pickVery powerful poems. May be good or better for middle schoolers due to the interpreted meanings.
pickI would highly recommend this book, there are some pages full of words and others with only a poem on the page so I liked how different it was. I think elementary students would really enjoy this book of poems!
“There‘s a place in this brain where hate won‘t grow.”
I‘m just starting this today. I have high hopes, since Naomi Shihab Nye is a favorite of mine. #poetry
If the Shoe Doesn‘t Fit
you take it off
of course you take it off
it doesn‘t worry you
it isn‘t your shoe
#poetry
I laughed when I first read this. But then I thought of how many times in my life that I (or others) have tried to make the “shoe” fit me when it clearly didn‘t. And I realized I really needed to hear this poem.
