Poetry Friday: Waking Up on the Right Side of the Poetry Bed

Poetry FridayIt’s Poetry Friday and I could not find the time to blog about a poem or poetry book. And since I didn’t want the day to end without my contributing something to this beautiful, collective blog effort to promote poetry, I decided to go back to a piece I wrote for PaperTigers in celebration of Poetry Month (back in April), inspired by an interview I read with poet Naomi Shihab Nye. The piece, called “Waking Up on the Right Side of The Poetry Bed,” is a tribute to poetry and reading aloud.

Poetry Friday’s lovely round-up this week is at Charlotte’s Reading. Enjoy!
