We all admire Abraham Lincoln for being one of the country’s most influential and powerful presidents, but did you know he was also a poet? Check out LEP’s blog for more!
Who else recognizes this line? :) Robert Frost wrote “Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening” after he’d been up the entire night working on another poem and went out to view the sunrise. Pulling all-nighters this week? Robert Frost sympathizes! Check out our blog for more!
What do you get when you combine chinchillas and Godzilla? Chinzilla! Want to hear more about chinchillas and Godzilla? Head over to our blog where we’ve featured a limerick written by our very own Queen of Poetry, Amal Algahmi!
This comic sums up EVERYTHING. Welcome back to the semester everybody! :D And yes, we’re still “doing that poetry blog”.
Octember 19th: The Song of the Shirt ~ Thomas Hood
WITH fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat, in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread—
Stitch! stitch! stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
She sang the “Song of the Shirt.”
Octember 14th: Last Night I Dreamed of Chickens ~ Jack Prelutsky
Last night I dreamed of chickens,
there were chickens everywhere,
they were standing on my stomach,
they were nesting in my hair,
they were pecking at my pillow,
they were hopping on my head,
they were ruffling up their feathers
as they raced about my bed.
LEP loves the word noetry. How ironic is it that nothing rhymes with the word ‘poetry’?
