Day 27: Today I Took a Walk (#NationalPoetryMonth2020)

April 27, 2020 By Laura

Hi, poetry friends! It’s the final stretch of Poetry Month! I actually took this walk and wrote this poem Saturday morning, but I had other poems to share the past couple of days. I’m writing LOTS of poetry this month–how about you? (And teachers, I added a bunch of single-poem #readalouds to my readalouds page!) […]

Cleaning Out My Locker [Poetry Friday]

December 6, 2018 By Laura

Happy Poetry Friday! Welcome, everyone! (Wondering what Poetry Friday is? Click here.) This month, we needed a last minute change to our plans, and someone (I think Liz? It’s usually Liz who keeps us blessedly on track) suggested a list poem that had to use two of the following words: paper, stars, messages, promises, dirt, […]

Not Frond of Palms #Poemsketch

October 23, 2017 By Laura

Not Frond of Palms

I was playing with my watercolors, trying to learn how to do a wash, and I made this orangey one. Then I dropped a few drops of green to see what would happen. The little splotches reminded me of palm trees, so I added trunks. I do not care for palm trees. Too closely associated […]

Circling Around

September 14, 2011 By Laura

What a puzzle to work all that in. I turned in a draft yesterday (instead of an outline, because I couldn't figure out […]

What if 9th Grade Is a Disaster?: An Original Poem and My Bad News

August 31, 2009 By Laura

I received some terrible news a couple of weeks ago–my editor is leaving Clarion. In fact, Friday was her last day. She resigned because of a family move away from NYC, and I don’t even know if she’ll be able to remain in children’s publishing at all. This is devastating news–she has been such a […]

Falling Down the Page

June 3, 2009 By Laura

  Last year, at Wild Rose Reader, I won a copy of Falling Down the Page: A Book of List Poems, the new Georgia Heard poetry anthology with a poem in it by Elaine Magliaro. Publication got pushed back a year, and I was so delighted to recently receive my copy from Elaine. What a fantastic […]
