Poetry Friday: Valentine’s Day Fun

I knew that my Poetry Thursday group would be over the moon about today being Valentine’s Day. In fact, several wanted to know if we were still meeting today because it was Valentine’s Day. So I decided for fun and taking a suggestion from last week, we did not write in our journals today.

I gave students a couple of those candy conversation hearts.  They had to come up with a sentence that included the words on the hearts.  They could work together with their friends.  When the sentence was created, it was added to the list:

A Valentine Poem 

New love
You want me to do good
Love me, don’t let us kiss
New heart as well as you know me
It’s true
Have a wonderful day, Valentine
You are all mine
We dream up cloud nine, it is love
I hope for real love
I smile on Valentine’s Day
Hearts and love the symbol
I can be your Valentine friend
Dear one, let’s sweet talk
I am dreaming a beautiful read heart
Be good. Love me. Please do, love bird.
You are too good, my sunshine
Today is a day of love
Hearts all day
A day of thought
Always love.

  Sometimes a day to be silly and have fun is needed.

Preparing for April: National Poetry Month.

Would you like to be part of a  postcard poem exchange during the month of April? Please let me know.  Our project for National Poetry Month Project will be to send poems on postcards.  I am hoping that those who get a postcard would send a postcard in return with a favorite poem on it or an orginal poem.  I need to start gathering interested participants.  So if you are interested, please let me know.  I will be addressing the postcards so students will not have access to addresses.

The Poetry Friday Round-up is at Hip Mama Writer.

Happy Reading.
