    Hooray for list poems! I love talking about lists and all the ways that poets use them... they are one of my absolute favorite poetic devices. Thanks for sharing and hosting today Amy. Your poem is great. :)

    Fun list poem Amy, perhaps we'll find out more about this past teacher's garden and the poems she likes… Thanks for hosting the Roundup!

    So much to love in this list poem - she used to be a teacher, she bakes lots of cookies, she likes reading poems, her name is Miss Betsy! Wow, what a wonderful list of facts. Can't wait for more poetic fun in this story. Amy, thanks for being our Poetry Friday host!

    Amy, I am sure that John is happy knowing what he now knows about Miss Betsy and the things he can do with her and Betsy. Your list poem is just the way a child would think. John learned quite a bit from his conversation. Thank you for hosting Poetry Friday.

    What a great collection of poems you've been creating! I've been loving following along this month and was delighted by the Miss Betsy duo and the potential for a happy ending. Thanks so much for hosting today.

    I love that "punctuation" at the end of your poem, Amy. It makes me so very happy for John! Thank you for hosting PF this week. xo

    So, so glad that John found Betsy. And so thankful that her owner is Miss Betsy. She is my new favorite teacher, to add to Mary Lee and Franki's cool teachers in literature!

    Thank you for hosting today, Amy. April has been a stressful, hectic month, so I've missed your story. I'll be back to catch up on John and Betsy this weekend.

    The repeated "She said she needs help" is tugging at my heart, Amy. Thanks for hosting PF today. I've got a list poem, too, as well as a borrow line. xx Christie @ https://wonderingandwondering.wordpress.com/

    And this time reading your latest news about John leaves me with a big sigh, Amy. I am so happy for John, and Betsy, too, to have Miss Betsy come into their lives. Thanks for hosting!

    Thank you for hosting and for highlighting all the ways a list can work for poets. It's been awhile since I've tried writing a list poem, but now I'm thinking of all the lists I want to write! I would love to learn more about Miss Betsy from the clues in your list.

    Hi, Amy. I'm enjoying your series so much. Love the parenthetical asides in this installment -- they express so much personality. Happy NPM!

    Thanks for doing the roundup this week, Amy! I admire you for this poetic undertaking during National Poetry Month. I'm doing my best to post as many days as I can.

    I already have a copy of POEMS ARE TEACHERS.

    Awwww… John has found his Betsy and made a new friend--Mss Betsy! (I can dry my eyes.) And there is no better friend for a boy than a retired teacher who likes to bake cookies, right! I love all the “she needs help”… making the poem perfect in this verse story for a character building moment during a read aloud. Now you have me thinking, Amy… about how many of the poems in this story have wonderful doorways to life lessons. (Hmmm. I must return to look at all of them through a new lens.) AND I’m so excited to have won, Poems Are Teachers! Whoohoo! AND thank you, Amy, for all you do and all that you share with those of us who play with words and dabble with poetry forms and teach!!

    I am really over-commenting this week - this is number three - but I just discovered somebody made a playlist for the progressive poem! I don't know where to say thank you but what a great idea! I can't use Spotify here in Haiti, but I am holding onto it for when I am next in the US, so I can listen to the whole thing.

    I like the list of facts in poem form. This is a good way to teach parallel structure in a fun way.

    Oh perfect. Miss Betsy the retired teacher with the cane and a love of poetry. And she needs a helper to weed and play with Betsy, the dog. Love what you are teaching and writing here, Amy. LOVE. Janet Clare F.

    This poem made me smile! Can't wait to see how the friendship between Miss Betsy and John grows. So glad that she needs help and my heart knows that his parents will agree that he is perfect for the job! I was thinking about time in your poemstory today... How some poems slow down a moment and others seem to show time passing... As always thank you!
