Our final

...poem.

Courtney took me up on the Windy Walk and wrote a poem from the pictures. A huge thank you goes out to her. She did a great job, didn't she?

This year I had almost been wondering if it was really worth it to do a poem a week; by the end of last year I just hadn't felt that that many students had really tried. Thank goodness I didn't quit. You have been a wonderful, wonderful class of poetry writers. I have so many good poems, not just here on the blog, but I have so many great poems up in my head, thanks to you.
I know that poetry writing won't be on the state test or on a regents, but poetry writing is good for the soul. Please keep it up. When you're feeling blue, when you're feeling happy, when you're wondering and learning, put it down as a poem.

Thank you for a great year of poetry; it's sooooooooooooooo appreciated!
