Poetry+Sites

Poetry is a great way to explore feelings, word choices, voice and practice fluency. What is poetry? " There are as many definitions of poetry as there are poets. Wordsworth defined poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings;" Emily Dickinson said, "If I read a book and it makes my body so cold no fire ever can warm me, I know that is poetry;" and Dylan Thomas defined poetry this way: "Poetry is what makes me laugh or cry or yawn, what makes my toenails twinkle, what makes me want to do this or that or nothing." Poetry is a lot of things to a lot of people." So, make it something to your kids and allow them explore, absorb, read and share it with these sites.
