Catching Poems



Catching Poems

Cast a line.
Reel it in.
Check the hook.
Cast again.

Poems swim
Beneath the sea
In schools of thought
Called poetry!

    Just great, Charles. I hope you wouldn't mind if I use your poem in a lesson for students that I'll work with in poetry this year? I'll certainly share with those teachers I work with!

    Thanks so much, Linda! Yes, please feel free to share with students and teachers. Tell your students Father Goose looks forward to reading their poems!

    This would make a great bulletin board. Maybe Linda will create one with your poem on the boat and her students' poems on the fish. Wonderful images, Charles!!
