Today, I have a serendipitous find, a lovely villanelle about the end of summer that I stumbled upon by frivolously googling "banana pudding poem."

Diane at
The Write Sisters has found a video of a found poem.

Kurious Kitty looks at Tea Party Today by Eileen Spinelli.

I'm sharing "What Happens Next" by Alison Deming at Random Noodling.

Kelly, I was waiting to hear from you about hosting this week--I volunteered a few months back. How does hosting scheduling work?

Kelly,
I have Lucy's Picture Day, a short original about an old family pet, at Notes from New England.

Thank you for hosting!

Hi Kelly, Thanks for hosting!

I have 2 wedding/love (or not!) themed entries.

First, "The Kiss," by Stephen Dunn, at http://laurasalas.livejournal.com/180519.html

Second, this week's 15 Words or Less poems are at http://laurasalas.livejournal.com/180241.html

Happy Poetry Friday!

Kelly,
I think I messed up the link in the comment ...

It should be
Notes from New England

So sorry!

Hi Kelly,
Lovely to see you, my dear! I'm in today with a poem by Charles Harper Webb entitled The Animals are Leaving.

Thanks for letting us hang out at your place this week!

I have a found poem today in the form of my husband's email to me about a rabid skunk at his school. Call it a pastoral piece. :)

It's here.

Thanks for hosting, Kelly!

And, I can host sometime in November or December. Let me know.

What beautiful flowers!

I posted Reeds of Innocence by William Blake at Bildungsroman. :)

Kelly -- thanks so much for hosting! I have a Donald Hall poem and thoughts on food this morning...

I'm swooning over the letter Q today, with a poem by Sharon Olds:

Jennifer R. Hubbard

I have just stumbled onto the whole Poetry Friday phenom, having posted a Rilke (Autumn) that Sara (if I may be informal)posted awhile back...I blog about Brooklyn's Prospect Park and often use poetry, and now I have another reason to TGIF! Thanks for a cool idea--I hope newbies are welcome!

Hi, Kelly - I have Eve Merriam's A WEATHER POEM up for people to read over at The Drift Record
Julie

P.S. Last night I hunted around for the Fall list of who is hosting POETRY FRIDAY - but couldn't find it. Is it posted somewhere? All I could find were the Summer dates....

New blog address. Tied in the seed of Rosetti's "Goblin Market" with Laini Taylor's new book Lips Touch.

Here it is: http://maclibrary.wordpress.com/2009/10/23/poetry-friday-goblin-market/

My Poetry Friday post is about Casey at the Bat by Ernest Thayer.

Thanks for hosting.

This week's poem on The Stenhouse Blog is Straight Line by Georgia Heard.

One of my favorite professors always told us that scientists make fabulous poets, because they observe the world so closely. I'm in today with a review of Georgia Heard and Jennifer McDonough's fabulous new professional book, A PLACE FOR WONDER. This book helps teachers to help kids become observers, scientists, and poets.

Thanks, Kelly!

Here's a little Halloween poem at the

'Our Little Ghost' By Louisa May Alcott

http://millymarie.wordpress.com/2009/10/24/poetry-friday-our-little-ghost-by-louisa-may-alcott/

Exhausted from Teen Read Week, but here's our post at readertotz for Poetry Friday: Cobbler, Cobbler.

Are those not the cutest shoes for Halloween?

Thanks, Kelly!

And I have an original poem at On Point: Bathing Beauties.

Thanks again, Kelly!

I've got a calm moment of hope today.

I am just getting back active with blogging and wanted to stop by and say hi. I hope you are enjoying the latest season of Project Runway!

Hi Kelly - I'm happy to take whatever date helps you the most. Fridays are good for me this year.

Mary Ann
Great Kid Books
http://greatkidbooks.blogspot.com

I'll take Oct. 2.

laurasalas

any blog about poetry is a friend of mine!

Ooh! Scotland? Are you seeing Tanita??

I hope so, Kelly!!

I am glad I could help! But most of all, Poetry Friday wants to say, "It's good to be home again!!!"

Glad you're back, Kelly. And yay to Mary Lee for stepping up to help. I appreciate everything you both do for Poetry Friday!

Mary Lee rocks.

I really want to host a PF one day. Will you let me know if you ever need someone last-minute, or if you can line me up after 8/28? Yeesh, 7-Imp has never hosted, which is kind of pathetic.

Jules

So glad you're back, Kelly! I adore this book, and thoroughly enjoyed interviewing Melissa recently :).

It's so great to have you back, Kelly!

This sounds like a marvelous book! I'm adding it to my list.

I lovelovelove this book! From the minute I saw it, I was hoping it would win the Caldecott. I, too, have an interview with Melissa Sweet at A Year of Reading. What a nice person she is -- everything her name says!

So glad you're back! And thanks for this book recommendation -- I hadn't seen this one.

Have you read Hate that Cat by Sharon Creech? It's just a wonderful YA book about a boy learning poetry through the model of Carlos Williams. I found it delightful - and loved the boy's strong voice as well as his poetry.

Cheers!
Melissa

So strange, I JUST posted a Williams poem for Poetry Friday and then I see this.

I still haven't seen this book. Sigh. Want to. So badly. I think I'm waiting on a library copy.

New beginnings even if it's something we're forced to do, are usually a good thing!

Welcome back Kelly! Glad to see everything is fresh and exciting!

Kelly! How great to see your post in Bloglines. Welcome home. Will check out the new site.

Welcome home, Kelly!

Kelly,

Welcome back. You've been missed. I think many of us understand the need to step away from blogging from time to time for a myriad of reasons.

Kelly,

We're glad to see you back. I'm headed to Crossover right now!

All the best to you,
Kerry

I like the way Lorie said it - welcome home!

Welcome back, Kelly! So good to see you again.

And maybe posting normal comments help too?

Have an awesome trip! May it feed your soul.

Thanks, Susan! I also hope it will do just that :)

London, wow! Have an enjoyable time... I've missed having you around. Just so you know. :)

London! Awesome. It's been way too long since I was there. Can you bring me back some chocolate hobnobs? :)

Have a great time, Kelly! Same thing happened on mine a couple weeks ago. Like a one-time thing (I hope).
Have fun!

I've missed you all too--Melissa, Tricia, and Chris! Trying to readjust and get back to the blog :)

Have a good trip!

Kelly--I have been spammed so regularly these past few months that I finally required moderation for anything older than 7 days. It works fantastically well. I'm rejecting spam nearly every day, sometimes between 12 and 20 pieces, that would all be spread over my archives otherwise.

Was happy to see some activity here and look forward to seeing more.

Kelly, great to see a post! Have a great time in London.

Always good to see a post from you, Kelly. Have a safe and fun trip!

Have a great trip Kelly!

Hope you're having a fantastic time!

(And I virtually spit on spammers.)

Have fun and be safe! :)

Have a great time in London! I was there in December and it was lovely. You'll be in time for the british spring- best time to go.

We miss you. But I'm glad you're taking time for yourself.

Jules
7-Imp

Very sensible of you, Kelly.

Big hugs.

Thanks, Kelly. I need the help.

And, thank you, Mary Lee!! I owe you one :)

Good for you for learning the definition of the word "delegate!" Look forward to having you back in whatever capacity you choose.

We will miss you but anyways you will come back and that's all that matters.

Thanks for all the hosting, coordinating, and delegating. Enjoy a well-deserved break!

I've got some Woodie Guthrie lyrics this week that I was taught in sixth grade. What were they thinking when they taught us that?

Anyway, thanks for hosting!

http://fomagrams.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/poetry-friday-talking-bluespoetry-friday-talking-blues/

Last Friday we hosted Elizabeth Alexander at my school and I did a post about it earlier this week: http://medinger.wordpress.com/2009/02/07/a-glorious-day-with-elizabeth-alexander/

Sorry for the confusion this morning. I jumped right in without checking here. My face is a little red, but there is no permanent psychological damage. Stay in touch about the roundup schedule.

This week I have a poem about light and dark:

http://readingyear.blogspot.com/2009/02/poetry-friday-dark.html

http://carolwscorner.blogspot.com/2009/02/poetry-friday.html

Tricia pushed me with her Monday Poetry Stretch into an original love poem. I blame her entirely for the result: I Cannot (Thanks, Tricia!)

And thanks for all you do, Kelly.

I love Fridays! What a terrific variety of poetry already.

I'm in this week with a small one, "Little Legs," at http://jumpingthecandlestick.blogspot.com/2009/02/poetry-friday_13.html

Hi there,
I guess I stayed off topic- I didn't write about Valentine's or Friday the 13th. Instead, I reviewed Yvonne Trainer's poetic biography of Tom Three Persons.

http://bookmineset.blogspot.com/2009/02/readers-diary-451-yvonne-trainer-tom.html

Would love to host... maybe March 28th.

Don't forget I'm on for Jan. 16th!

If you have need of another host, I would be glad to help :D

Fun! I'd love to host the first available.

I'd be happy to host, as well.

Just to clarify--I use this blog for Poetry Friday posts. Thanks!

Come to think of it, I haven't hosted for ages. Pop me in whereever you need me.

Best,

Suzanne

7-Imp's never hosted, and that's way overdue. Let me know if I can do a Friday.

I'd be willing to host a Poetry Friday-
Carol
Carolwscorner.blogspot.com

Kelly,

I'd be happy to host again. Let me know when you need me.

I'd like to do it again sometime, too. Just let me know when is helpful!
