doors (mine, at least), cookie sheets and file cabinets...well, they have
a wonderful Magnetic
Poetry website. If you are 14 years old or younger, surf on over
to check out the ZOOM Magnetic Poetry Kit - Word
Contest. You could win a trip to the ZOOM studios and have
your Word included in the next version of Magnetic Poetry. If you
are older than 14, check it out anyway and create your own magnetic online
poem for possible publication. If you are a teacher, follow the
Teacher Link. I just spent way too much time out there... |

What started out for me as a cyber-hunt on Robert Frost reading some of
his own poetry, turned into hours of listening to other authors and poets
reading their own work (Barbara Kingsolver, Wally Lamb, Charles Bukowski,
Jewel, James Joyce…the list goes on). I
never did hear Robert Frost! Go to this web address and
follow the Audio link. You
must have Real Audio loaded on your machine. Be sure you have a
few hours to kill...
