I love the way you have now compiled them into one post and added the audio file. Now I will have to go back and listen to those that didn't have audio in their original post.<br /><br />Just glancing back over them, there were so many great ones that it would be hard to choose a favorite, each a little "poem jewel" (or poemjewel as you might say) in its own right. :)<br /><br />Thank you for a fantastic month!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03398254629932536661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-67918058487465570662012-04-30T13:37:10.052-04:002012-04-30T13:37:10.052-04:00It was true pleasure to be a part of this Amy.

I love the way your "challenge" to join you caught my attention, that caught Christophe, something else caught Charles, Georgia joined us (she is one lucky young lady to have a mother like you!)...and along the way, everyone made these beautiful poems. This gives me hope that poetry and the sharing of poetry realy can change the world. Here is my haiku for today:<br /><br />Let's Go<br /><br />Let's go far and near,<br />Alaska, Belgium, Zaire.<br />Let's go. Everywhere!<br /><br />Thanks so much Amy. <br />Your friend in poetry,<br />LisaPoem of the Week - Lisa Vihoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437291789999751899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-41596382781300894772012-04-29T09:11:53.661-04:002012-04-29T09:11:53.661-04:00I'm getting ready for some talk with my teache...I'm getting ready for some talk with my teachers about non-fiction poetry & your poem is an example of the beauty that can come from research, instead of that simple encyclopedic report. I loved hearing about the Zaire, Amy, plus what it means-beautiful. And Charles, how easy you make it look to use those words to make us the reader want to read & re-read. A lovely poem to greet the day. Thanks for a terrific ride through the month Amy!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-31096635870045469552012-04-29T08:02:16.120-04:002012-04-29T08:02:16.120-04:00"I pointed to a word, read some research, tal..."I pointed to a word, read some research, talked with my husband, listened to a classic poem, did some math, and wrote." Perfect summation.<br /><br />And Charles, that poem calms me as much as "Flaming Poo Poo Platter" amuses me.<br /><br />Thanks for the best Poetry Month ever, Amy.

But then...that's not the secret either...:)<br /><br />I'm sad to see the Dictionary Hike come to an end. Over the next few days I will be visiting your final roundup and reading those I missed and re-reading those I already know and love. What a collection you've put together!<br /><br />And hello to Charles, too, and thanks for a lovely lullaby.Renee LaTulippehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520719663052253627noreply@blogger.com
