POEM SHARE: Children's poets from across the globe presenting their favorite poems for Poetry Month and beyond!
In today's POEM SHARE, Buffy Silverman reads her poem about acrobats, but not the kind you see at the circus. Can you guess what kind of acrobats Buffy describes? Hint: they have leathery wings. Be sure to look for the sleepy surprise guest, Dakota, at the end of this video!
Buffy Silverman has written over 90 nonfiction children's books inspired by the plants and animals that live near her home, including Starlight Symphony, a poetic look at the music made by nighttime creatures.
What plants and animals that live near you have captured your attention? Try writing a poem that compares a plant or animal to a person performing a specific job, perhaps an acrobat, carpenter, or even street sweeper.
Happy poetry reading and writing, everyone!
Adorable!
