National Poetry Month!

April is National Poetry Month! Here are a couple of fun links to help you write some great poetry! Celebrate the power of words!

Poetry Magnets--Rearrange the words and see what kinds of poems you can come up with. Take it a step further by figuring out what part of speech each word is, and replace it with another word of your choice that is the same part of speech. Remember that poems don't have to have perfect grammar, and line breaks give emphasis to words at the beginning of a line.

Giggle Poetry is poetry site for kids. My favorite is Poetry Fun, where you can fill in the blank to try to finish the poem. Choose your words based on the context and on what will rhyme!

Happy poetry month!
