    Thank you for hosting the Poetry Friday round-up, Anastasia. Lately I’ve been exploring the whole world of riddles, and I have three riddle-poems from Punjab, India, up at The Drift Record this week, plus a link to an interview of Uma Krishnaswami.

    Hello.
    I have an extract from a Sharon Olds poem and some thoughts on combining motherhood and poetry.
    Thank you!

    Hi, Anastasia…that silver trombone is what I call a teaser! However, I believe I can trust Eve Bunting to follow through. In my 1st grade classroom this week I am reminded of how important it is for kids to get their nursery rhymes, folk and fairy tales by heart early on. Good for the ears, good for the mouth, good for the reading brain! This will be another toy in that toybox.

    Hi Anastasia!

    Thanks for hosting Poetry Friday today!

    Good morning, Anastasia. Both of my kids are musicians — thanks for recommending the book! We are winding down the school year, which means last band concerts, celebrations and class picnics, which is where I’ll be today. I have a picnic poem posted at Author Amok. http://authoramok.blogspot.com/2011/06/poetry-friday-picnic.html

    Oops, my poem is “The Health Food Diner.” That “L” got away from me this morning. The poem is from Maya Angelou’s latest cookbook. Also sharing her recipe for cornbread!

    Love the idea of a silver trombone and Eve Bunting in general :) .

    Thanks for hosting today, A.

    Howdy, Anastasia–I’ve always loved your name!

    Over at TeachingAuthors we’ve been talking about how to stay motivated when the chips are down and all the dip is gone.

    I’ve included a haiku and a silly poem about Writer’s Block, which for me is more appropriately called Writer’s Scare!

    Terrific! I just used Hey Diddle Diddle in a recent storytime and it was a hit!
    I did a post today, reviewing Bob Raczka’s wonderful book Lemonade and Other Poems Squeezed From One Word.
