A Little Poem for Poetry Month
by Jack Prelutsky
I'm glad we have a Poetry Month, But still, I wonder whyThey chose a month with thirty days —Were months in short supply?I wish that they'd selectedA longer month, like May.I'm certain I'd appreciateThat extra poetry day.Of course, if they'd picked February,I would be aghast,For February's very shortAnd passes far too fast.But April's not as short as that,So I don't hesitateTo say I'm glad it's Poetry Month.Hooray! Let's celebrate.A quick introductory video about poetry for middle grades: https://youtu.be/JmkgAWAGtbE
Listen to some great children's poets reading from their poetry books or read some great children's poetry on your own.
This poem is extremely relavent and hilarious for our Stay at Home time. Enjoy!
