She Turned Her Tender Eyes to Me

I chose the word POETRY for our Saturday Scavenger Shots, because I thought it would be a little challenging to put it into photos and I like a small challenge! I love POETRY and enjoy writing short, simple poems from time to time. It is really more like doggerel than true POETRY. I'm okay with that, because there is lots of great POETRY already out there in the world. 

Here are the photos I came up with to illustrate POETRY -

On the refrigerator in the break room at work, we have those little magnetic words that you can put together in different ways. I think it is called a magnetic POETRY kit. It has been up there so long that most people just ignore it. I rarely use the break room, but occasionally I wander in there and switch things up.

The Children's POETRY section is fairly substantial. It is dominated by a couple of poets that kids tend to really enjoy because of their humor.  They can never get enough Jack Pretlutsky or Shel Silverstein. I love showing kids the POETRY section!

This is one of my favorite poems. It is by e.e. cummings, one of my favorite poets. I admit to getting a larger enjoyment out of more compact POETRY. I am, no doubt, too simple to fully enjoy more epic types of POETRY...at least on a regular basis. But give me something that makes me feel the message without a lot of analysis and a lot of my precious time and I am smitten.

I hope you have enjoyed my little POETRY display here. I enjoyed putting it together and love the opportunity to think about POETRY! I wonder what Jasen will choose for next week?
