PoetryPoem

Here is a great site called PoetryPoem (since they supposedly get notice with a link that say "

Poetry

", please click that link instead to help promote the site). This website allows poets to create a website specifically structured for posting poems. To me, the interface isn't quite clean; doesn't catch my eye; not attractive; isn't really pretty. But it is a great tool for those poets that will like the world to know their stories. There is also a follow up link in which you can create a blog (not something I have tried), a story site (thinking about it), and/or a recipe site (not something I WOULD try). I have a website on PoetryPoem of my own:My Poetry.I'm a huge fan of poetry and I really enjoy writing it. I add nore websites everyday! (no, I don't think up great things to write about everyday, I just copy and paste the ones I typed up on my computer).

The Kids In School With Me

In one of my previous posts, I talked about a poems written by Langston Hughes that talks about diversity in America. I finally found out what the poem was called. I got the poem from this website.

The Kids in School with Me
When I studied my A-B-C's
And learned arithmetic,
I also learned in public school
What makes America tick:
The kid in front
And the kid behind
And the kid across the aisle,
The Italian kid
And the Polish kid
And the girl with the Irish smile,
The colored kid
And the Spanish kid
And the Russian kid my size,
The Jewish kid
And the Grecian kid
And the girl with the Chinese eyes--
We were a regular Noah's ark,
Every race beneath the sun,
But our motto for graduation was:
One for All and All for One!
The kid in front
And the kid behind
And the kid across from me--
Just American kids together
The kids in school with me.

What Was That Langston Hughes Poem?

I'm a big fan of poetry. Writing and reading. One of my favorite poets is Langston Hughes. His poems have so much meaning. I love his poem called Dream Deferred. I also admire his other poem....in which I do not remember the name to. I don't remember where, but I heard it somewhere and found out that it was by Langston Hughes. It talks about the much diversity there is in America. I believe it is told in the point of view of a kid. If you know the title, please do tell. I would appreciate it very much =]
