I've been away for a bit, finishing the revised edition of
Children's Literature in Action: A Librarian's Guide, wrapping up summer classes, and enjoying a bit of a break. Earlier this summer I took a trip to a town just an hour away (from Dallas where I live) and had so much fun-- it's called POETRY, Texas. Yes, there is really a town called "Poetry" and I took pictures of all the places that carry the town name. I thought I might share them here, just for fun, as I wrap up my summer and head toward the new school year. Enjoy!

Wow, when people say, 'poetry is everywhere,' they really mean it!
Must say this couldn't be a more perfect spot for a poetry confab!
LOVE the pics and whole idea.
To anyone who thinks "Poetry is Dead," I would say, "Hey, but we took it to the Poetry Taxidermy"! This fun post reminds me of Naomi Shihab Nye's irony-filled poem "Texas, Out Driving" from PFAMS (with the town of Comfort not feeling comforting at all, etc.).
That was AWESOME!!!!!!
That's so cool! I would love to have that as part of my address. :)
