POEM SHARE: Children's poets from across the county presenting their favorite poems for Poetry Month and beyond!

This is exactly what happens in the book The Poem that Will Not End  by Joan Bransfield Graham.  In this Poem Share,  Joan presents a couplet from the book called "Couplet for French Fries." 


Enjoy the rest of the runaway poems in Graham's collection, which includes a guide to 15 poetic forms.

  3. Thanks, Michele, I so enjoyed meeting you at Poetry Camp at WWU. Let's keep celebrating food and poetry! BTW, I have a great recipe for Potato Wedges--actually. Spicy Rosemary Roasted Potato Wedges--if you ever want it for some of those potatoes you are growing!
