This is the honey by Kwame Alexander
I’ve been getting back into reading traditional books by picking up a book of poetry every morning and night. This one is a must-have for #PoetryPeople and #BlackSky and anyone who loves truth and beauty.

Hey #poetrypeople
If you teach “Do not go gentle into that good night,”
This is a formidable paired text. It holds special meaning to me. www.sambakermusic.com/lyrics-goinp...

I can tell y’all right now that the #PoemADayJuly poetry annotations are going to be ABSURD in the best possible way.
I’m so excited. Like…I’m nerding out! #PoetryPeople

#PoetryPeople but also people who might not think of poetry as their cup of tea, too!
I definitely think there are ELA folks who know and love what poetry can do in a classroom—and then there are others who keep it more at arm's length.
If you're one of the latter, give #PoemADayJuly a try!

Punctuation I went to the store filled with water. I went to the store, filled with water. The store is submerged or I am crying in the aisles There is something in your eyes I can't get out. There is something in your eyes; I can't get out. I am trying to help I am trying to run away I am scared you don't really know me. I am scared; you don't really know me. I am expressing concern about where we're going I am making a declaration of where we are The wind carried my mother's voice away after the storm came. The wind carried my mother's voice away; after, the storm came.
My mother is grieving all that she lost or I am grieving the loss of my mother There are new flowers on the trees I climbed every day as a child. There are new flowers on the trees; I climbed every day as a child. I am relishing the cycle of renewal or I am lamenting that something has taken my place It's hard for me to say I am not always the man I want to be. Its hard for me to say; I am not always the man I want to be. I am trying to be honest with myself or I am trying to be honest with you.
Okay #PoetryPeople
My students are studying one of 5 texts, so to model their assignments, I’m studying Clint Smith’s “Above Ground.” This one made me feel big things, as a daughter, wife of over a decade, and teacher of English.

That Was Her Way of Showing God We didn't go to church on Sundays, but my mother cleaned the whole house. Wiped from behind the toilet to inside of the oven. That was her way of honoring God. Separating cloth by color, making sure nothing bled, onto anything else, stretching pork across seven days, because even poverty knows ritual. Baptizing Black babies in bathtubs of hand-me-down water, one, after another. A poor woman's tradition, but of its own abundance.
That was her way of showing God that she had a servant's heart, that she was a good woman, with all of the little she had.
“That was Her Way of Showing God”
By Jasmine Mans is a beautiful edition to our sophomore poetry unit and a beautiful pairing with Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Invitation to Love Paul Laurence Dunbar Come when the nights are bright with stars Or come when the moon is mellow; Come when the sun his golden bars Drops on the hay-field yellow. Come in the twilight soft and gray, Come in the night or come in the day, Come, O love, whene er you may, And you are welcome, welcome. You are sweet, O Love, dear Love, You are soft as the nesting dove. Come to my heart and bring it to rest As the bird flies home to its welcome nest. Come when my heart is full of grief Or when my heart is merry; Come with the falling of the leaf Or with the redd'ning cherry. Come when the year's first blossom blows, Come when the summer gleams and glows, Come with the winter's drifting snows, And you are welcome, welcome.
Invitation to Love by Paul Laurence Dunbar just gets me every time #PoetryPeople
“Come when my heart is full of grief…and you are welcome, welcome.”

and the sky of the sky of a tree called life.” 😂

I Am Offering this Poem BY JIMMY SANTIAGO BACA I am offering this poem to you, since I have nothing else to give. Keep it like a warm coat when winter comes to cover you, or like a pair of thick socks the cold cannot bite through, I love you, I have nothing else to give you, so it is a pot full of yellow corn to warm your belly in winter, it is a scarf for your head, to wear over your hair, to tie up around your face, I love you, Keep it, treasure this as you would if you were lost, needing direction, in the wilderness life becomes when mature; and in the corner of your drawer, tucked away like a cabin or hogan in dense trees, come knocking, and I will answer, give you directions, and let you warm yourself by this fire, rest by this fire, and make you feel safe I love you, It’s all I have to give, and all anyone needs to live, and to go on living inside, when the world outside no longer cares if you live or die; remember, I love you.

I haven't been myself.
It all started when my True Self
came down upon me. I never
should have delved into Celtic Mythology.

Photo: screenshot of a poem from poetry foundation. How Dark the Beginning Launch Audio in a New Window BY MAGGIE SMITH All we ever talk of is light— let there be light, there was light then, good light—but what I consider dawn is darker than all that. So many hours between the day receding and what we recognize as morning, the sun cresting like a wave that won’t break over us—as if light were protective, as if no hearts were flayed, no bodies broken on a day like today. In any film, the sunrise tells us everything will be all right. Danger wouldn’t dare show up now, dragging its shadow across the screen. We talk so much of light, please let me speak on behalf of the good dark. Let us talk more of how dark the beginning of a day is.
In the tradition that @jess5th.bsky.social started, I wanna share some poems for the new year. I’ll share ‘the one’ I plan to use to guide my 2025 soon. #PoetryPeople you all share too!
I often come back to @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social’s How Dark the Beginning
Stunning, searing imagery.

Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying BY NOOR HINDI Colonizers write about flowers. I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks seconds before becoming daisies. I want to be like those poets who care about the moon. Palestinians don't see the moon from jail cells and prisons. It's so beautiful, the moon. They're so beautiful, the flowers. I pick flowers for my dead father when I'm sad. He watches Al Jazeera all day. I wish Jessica would stop texting me Happy Ramadan. I know I'm American because when I walk into a room something dies. Metaphors about death are for poets who think ghosts care about sound. When I die, I promise to haunt you forever. One day, I'll write about the flowers like we own them.
Okay #poetrypeople
Sharing my favorite poems to teach and what I focus on. Please do the same! First, is “Fuck your Lecture on Craft, My People are Dying” by Noor Hindi. #EduSky

Hey teacher twitter. I need help NOW.
I need a dope activity to do with students who read and are now analyzing Keats’s Ode on a Grecian Urn. It needs to be interactive and low prep! Pretty please and thank you.
