Why I Love Poetry

Right now Borders is having a poetry contest and has videos of poets reading their poetry.

I read and listened to a poem called "What Teachers Make" on-line last week when I was just getting back into the swing of things and I swear that it made me feel better. Click here and go to chapter 4 to watch the video. If you want to see the un-edited version, you'll have to go to youtube.

These really are the reasons I stay in teaching.

If you like this and want to see more, go to youtube and look up Taylor Mali. I also love "Labeling Keys" and "Totally, Like, Whatever."
