Happy National Poetry Month!
I welcome you to the 2013 Kidlitosphere Progressive Poem!
Last year, Irene Latham invited poetry-lovers to share in a progressive poem feast which she kicked off at her blog, Live Your Poem, on April 1, 2012. Day-by-day, throughout April, different people took turns hosting the growing poem, each adding one new line. Our poem gathered lines and stanzas, and on April 30, 2012, it was complete. What fun it was to see the poem twist and turn and become, just as a poem by one person does. I was fascinated each day to visit the next host...curious as to how each writer's heart would bend the meaning and sound.
The first line of this year's poem, chosen to include sound and a hint at magic and memory is:
When you listen to your footsteps
It's yours now, Joy!
Please follow along, visiting each blog as this one line grows to thirty poem breaths, a community poem written by poetry friends old and new.
