April: National Poetry Month

April is Poetry Month! It is a time to read poetry, learn about poetry, memorize poetry, and love poetry. See how poets can say a lot with just a few words.

Weather (Traditional poem)

Whether the weather is cold,
Or whether the weather is hot, 
We'll weather the weather whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!

Beneath the Sea (by Maud Keary 1912)

Were I a fish beneath the sea,
Shell-paved and pearl-brocaded,
Would you come down and live with me,
In groves by coral shaded?

No washing would we have to do:
Our cushions should be sponges --
And many a great ship's envious crew
Should watch our merry plunges!
