Snowmelt #PoetryFriday

January 21, 2021 By Laura Leave a Comment

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) If you follow me on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook (I’m @LauraPSalas on all of them), you might see my #OutsideEveryDay photos.

An Audience of One #PoetryFriday

January 14, 2021 By Laura 16 Comments

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) I’m trying to deepen my poetry practice in 2021, and one thing I’m doing is a book study of Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook. In last week’s practice, I chose a poem to imitate. One way I want to stretch myself poetically is to imbue […]

Winter Song #PoetryFriday

January 7, 2021 By Laura

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) We had a white Christmas, and that filled my heart with joy. I don’t love winter without snow. I do love winter with snow. It’s pretty much that simple. Here’s a draft of a poem. I feel like it needs a third stanza to tie […]

When Hope Is Not Easy #PoetryFriday

When Hope Is Not Easy

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) I’m sharing a poem I wrote shortly before the election four years ago. (It was a Poetry Princess prompt then.)

They Have Their Uses, But… [Poetry Friday]

October 29, 2020 By Laura

Happy Poetry Friday! Welcome, everyone! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) Last week, I shared a Halloween poem (just in case you’re looking for spoooooky! :>) So, this month, our Poetry Princess challenge was “Oct 30: A naani poem, theme is foresight again (or autumn, or both).“ A naani is 4 lines, between 20 […]

The Best Gift for World Teachers’ Day #ClassroomConnections

September 30, 2020 By Laura

World Teachers’ Day is coming up on October 5, and teachers are working harder this year than ever before! As a former teacher, I can picture the stressed-out mess I would be if I were still teaching today. So I’m going to suggest (even though you might be a stressed-out mess, too), that you thank […]

New Mouse [Poetry Friday]

September 10, 2020 By Laura

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) School has started up in some form or another in most parts of the country, and I’m thinking that, even digitally, many kids (and teachers) are feeling lost in a maze of new rules, new technologies, new people, new platforms…Here’s a poem from my very […]

Freedom Is a Word

Happy Poetry Friday! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) I’m listening to The Poet X, by Elizabeth Acevedo right now. Wow. I don’t know why I haven’t read it before, other than I don’t read a lot of ya, and I had some strange idea that it was related to Malcolm X, and the […]
