Today is Poem In Your Pocket Day in National Poetry Month. In light of the recent snow melt and the resultant water in the low, wet spot in our back yard, we wanted to share a vernal pool poem. There are very, very few of those. They're mostly outnumbered by poets poeticizing about the Vernal Equinox, which occurred more than a month ago, although this Spring's weather makes that hard to believe. But, in our internets search, we came across (found) a resource we want to share. We've not had time to check it thoroughly, but at first glance it looks promising and, it's about vernal pools. We happen to think this may be among the best "found poems" we've found so far this year. Even better, given our prior postings this National Poetry Month, there appear to be a number of very creative teachers using anything but an historic poetic canon to teach the joys of poetry to children. That, as much as anything, we believe will help poetry save America.
