Next week at Noah’s school they are having poetry day. Parents are asked to help their kids pick a poem and send it in.
Okay, but how do you pick just one? Noah and I share the problem. In the end I’ll put a few on the table and have him pick one, so the mechanics of it will be okay.
But seriously? ONE POEM. The pressure. Do we go for the highly amusing Jack Prelutsky, and sneak a dragon in? What about the ever-iconic William Carlos Williams? Or do we go traditional with Robert Louis Stevenson? Christina Rossetti? Sneak in some Blake? Or get snarky with Ogden Nash? Over the top with Rules by Eleanor Farjeon? Sweet with A. A. Milne…
ONE POEM.
Harumph.
Maybe Prelotsky has a poem about this dilemma!
Shel Silverstein! To add to your dilemma.
Tough choices, but what a lovely idea! Maybe Noah can bring his collection of favorite poems. :)
