This Poem Share is sure to make you hungry! JoAnn Early Macken reads her poem "Hamburger," a list poem all about different kinds of hamburgers and hamburger toppings. 

Imagine what would happen if everything you touched or saw turned into a poem?  Poems about toothpaste. The staircase. Even french fries. 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." 

Take a trip to the grocery store with children's poet Linda Dryfhout in this Poem Share. "Unpack" is an ekphrastic poem, or a poem based on a work of art.
