Daily Poems
June 26, 2006 -- From Blair, a parent, from Scotland, who is not affiliated with the site.
A nice site which has the usual collection of the “classic poets”. However, this page also contains poetry for children or by young authors from many poets I hadn’t heard of. Some real funny classics – “when daddy fell into the pond” and “The ant exporer”.
Outside the Lines: Poetry At Play
May 5, 2006 -- From Brad Burg, a reader from Morristown, NJ, who is affiliated with the site
Hi! I built this site around my book of graphic poetry for children, ‘Outside the Lines: Poetry At Play’ (Penguin). The site explains to kids a bit about what graphic poetry is – and why that may be a better name than concrete poetry. It also has motion poems (a step beyond graphic), puzzle poems, and some songs.

This site has a bunch of poetry that anyone of any age can read and enjoy. The poems featured on this site were all created by me, a fourteen- year old kid who loves poetry.
