Poetry is… For all Ages and Occasions
Poetry Can Be Funny Would you like themhere or there?" "I would not like themhere or there.I would not like themanywhere." -Dr. Seuss Green Eggs and Ham
Poetry Can Be Thoughtful and Insightful “Because, after all,a person’s a person,no matter how small.” -Dr. Seuss Horton Hears A Who
Poetry Can Be Reflective “He gives his harness bells a shakeTo ask if there is some mistake.The only other sound's the sweepOf easy wind and downy flake.”Robert FrostStopping By Woods on a Snowy EveningNew Hampshire 1923
Poetry Can Be Sinister and Mysterious Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.-Edgar Allen Poe The Raven
Poetry Can Be About Strength and Character It's in the click of my heels,The bend of my hair,The palm of my hand,The need of my care,'Cause I'm a womanPhenomenally.Phenomenal woman,That's me. -Maya Angelou Phenomenal Woman
Poetry can be about Have To’s At Supper time I have to wash my hands and feed my fishes. And after supper I must clear my place and wash the dishes. At night I have to brush and floss- That’s what my dentist said. And when the clock says nine o’clock, I have to go to bed -Bruce LanskyHave To’s
Poetry Is Everywhere.All You Have To Do Is Look, Listen, Imagine…
Leaves drifting in a slow dance to the ground, rustling under foot…
Distant Crackles, Earth Shattering Booms, Blinding Flashes of Light…
The shattered water made a misty din.Great waves looked over others coming in, “Once by the Ocean” by Robert Frost
“The glories and the beauties of form, color, and sound unite in the Grand Canyon - forms unrivaled even by the mountains, colors that vie with sunsets, and sounds that span the diapason from tempest to tinkling raindrop, from cataract to bubbling fountain.” John Wesley Powell
