I certainly wish I had this when I was still teaching. Now I’m writing and especially grateful to find it. Thanks for a wonderful post. I look forward to more and the time to read through your archives.

It so needed to be said. I, too, love humorous poems,
but the emphasis on them is getting completely out of hand. I sometimes fear that kids will grow up thinking that is all there is to poetry. What a loss that would be.
Thanks so much for writing this. It did my heart good!
