If you want to receive a poem a day via email during April, National Poetry Month, send an email to Writers in the Schools (WITS) at this address: mail@writersintheschools.org. These are not just any old poems; they’re poems written by bonafide children. Here’s a free sample:
On the Other Side
I walked into a tunnel of blue
light and on the other side I
saw a world where mother
held babies, where muscle
men fall down, where ship
fly, where men take care of
men, where there is a castle,
where cats cry out loud, where
women have wings, where
birds sing, where there is
a heaven.
by Ali, age 10
Actually the entire month of poems is 100% free. Poetry and air have a lot in common in that both are free. Quality can vary however!
Request your poem a day by emailing WITS.
