Mobile Poetry
Tuesday, April 8th by carlaYour anniversary is coming up, and you want a poem for the occasion. How do you find one? You want a poem to include in a graduation card. Which poem? A friend is going through a tough time, and you’d like to send a poem of encouragement. Which one will say just what you mean? The Academy of American Poets announces Mobile Poetry, a web site that helps you find just the right poem. The site includes both classic and contemporary poetry divided into categories by occasion and by theme: poems for funerals, poems for Halloween, poems that celebrate spring, poems about work, about daughters, about weather, even poems about shoes. Even better, the site is designed for access not only from a desktop or laptop, but also from a handheld device. Poetry on your cell — we may get students interested in this stuff yet!

I love your blog. A friend gave me this article on apostrophes that I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of. It can be found online at http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/othercolumns/index.ssf?/base/opinion/1206975303235290.xml&coll=2
Hope you like it. Keep up the good work, you’ve inpsired me to blog. I started with an English one but switched over to mythology later on.
