Wednesday Website(s)--Poetry

April is Poetry Month and the web abounds with  resources.  Try Poem 180 for a new poem for high schoolers for each day of the school year.  Poetry.org has a variety of resources for poetry lovers. Ms. M's favorite:
The Swing
by Robert Louis Stevenson

How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall,
Till I can see so wide,
River and trees and cattle and all
Over the countryside—

Till I look down on the garden green,
Down on the roof so brown—
Up in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
