This was lovely, Serena, thanks for doing it! What a treat, to have a poetry discussion every single day!
We had such fun participating this year. You’ve opened up a whole new world for us! Such a great idea to host a blog tour to celebrate National Poetry month.
.-= Janelle @ Brimful Curiosities´s last blog ..Read Aloud Poetry – National Poetry Month Blog Tour =-.
Hard to believe it’s almost over, but for some of us, it goes on….Thanks for all the hard work represented here.
It still goes on for me as well, and I hope we’ve inspired others to read more poetry!
I’m distressed that the poet I featured left a nasty comment this morning insulting everyone who had commented. Next topic after national poetry month will be elitism.
.-= Jeanne´s last blog ..Some Questions You Might Ask =-.
Why would they do that! That’s terrible!
Giddy with excitement to present my post today 🙂
Thank you so much Serena for organizing this blog tour!

This was a great idea Serena! I had fun writing my entry.

Happy National Poetry Month! 🙂 You must be loving it! 🙂
I am enjoying it. I hope you will check out some of the great posts this month.

Thanks, Serena. Looks like the link is working, but I’ll also put it here (just in case) http://authoramok.blogspot.com/2010/04/national-poetry-month-50-state-tour_15.html
Heard poets Arnold and Jaime Adoff jamming with a middle school jazz band last night. What a great way to celebrate NPM!

.-= Michele@ A Reader’s Respite´s last blog ..April is National Poetry Month =-.
You are always the first blog I think of when it comes to poetry so I knew you would be doing something special for this month. I will link to this post when I do my FreeVerse posts this month. I think I’m too late to help you out in any other way due to my vacation. Long live poetry!
.-= Jenners´s last blog ..Show Me 5 Saturday: "Whacked" by Jules Asner =-.
Jenners: I’m flattered. You can link up your free verse and if you review any poetry or interview any poets, feel free to add those links too.
I hope it’s okay – I just jumped aboard with a link to my post for the last Poetry Friday Roundup – it is full of such rich pickings! And I profiled Canadian MĂ©tis poet, David Bouchard’s stunning new book of his poem The Secret of Your Name…
.-= Marjorie (PaperTigers)´s last blog ..The newest thing in children’s books……augmented reality technology =-.
Marjorie: Absolutely. I want anyone celebrating poetry this month to include their links.
Thanks for stopping by!
Exciting! Happy Poetry Month!
