Springtime for Poetry

Photo24_20

At last, the days are growing longer and lighter again! Birds are skipping about, buds are peeping out, and poetry is everywhere. It’s humming and buzzing in schools around the country, in celebration of World Book Day and World Poetry Day – both happening this term, and it’s alive, too, in the burgeoning, blossoming spring. 

Spring is one of my topic choices, in fact, for this term’s workshops, but I’m also offering some other wonderful, wide-open topics – chosen to inspire the poet in every child: Wild Weather, Haunted Castle, Dragons, Space, and Countryside Creatures (and their settings).  

Dates are going fast, though. At the time of writing, I have a few dates left in February, and more in the second half of March – and that’s about it, so if interested, grab your date quick!!

Meanwhile, if we have to suffer a bit more gloomy, soggy winter before springtime proper arrives, just think of all that springiness below and behind and above, preparing to burst forth. A thought like that can breathe music into a dark day… and into a poem, too, for that matter.
