I'm trying my hand at "spine poems." I also need to work on my photography skills... but I have typed them in case they are hard to read. :) Enjoy--and think about this for April: Poetry Month!
take joy:
the true secret of writing.
Poetry speaks to children
for the good of the earth and sun,
a place for wonder--
seeing the blue between,
pyrotechnics on the page.
Word weavings,
wondrous words!
Don't forget to share!
Old friend from far away
promise me
don't sweat the small stuff...
and it's all small stuff
you can create an exceptional life
help
thanks
wow
When we were very young
wonder
last child in the woods
tiny beautiful things
wonder struck
....And with a light touch
igniting a passion for reading
revisit, reflect, retell
talk about understanding
lasting impressions
READING POWER
What's after assessment?
Holding on to GOOD IDEAS
in a time of BAD ONES
The death and life of the
great American school system--
What the Dickens?
The tiger rising...
Prey
Puppet Power

So awesome! I loved your artistry in manipulating the titles to build something bigger! :) You and I share a similar library as coaches... I've never tried this but will have to -- so creative! Congratulations on slicing this month! b
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to get kids who dislike poetry to think in another way! Sharing your blog with my first year teacher/daughter in Houston…wonderful wonderful, inspiring things to think about and try….
ReplyDeleteYou need to send these to Travis Jonkers at 100 Scope Notes. These are great! I especially love the first and last one. Photographing them are tricky, those skinny paperbacks are tough.
