Carrie at Mommy Brain passes on some links and resources for your poetical enjoyment.

Mental Multivitamin: In a ragged pocket . . . “. . . you don’t need a plan or a permission slip to enjoy poetry with your family. Simply pull down a collection of poems and read. Play with the language. Take turns delighting in silly poems. Teach one another the importance of old favorites. Recite from memory the poems you’ve learned. Let favorite pieces become part of the pattern of your family’s secret language, like lines from favorite books and films.”
