The AP Lit kids at my school do a March Madness poetry bracket every year with 16 poems.

This year "Daddy" by Sylvia Plath took first, and "The Ultrasound Shows Me an Empty Sack" by @stemkay.bsky.social took a strong second.

From "Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College" by Thomas Gray. Truly one of my all-time favorite poems.

My poetry club students gave a Christmas themed reading at the local art gallery this evening! I'm so proud of these kids!

One of my poems just shared a poem about me in poetry club. There's probably too many inside jokes for y'all to really get it, but it made me cry. In a good way.

Our high school poetry club met today. I just pulled out a bunch of poetry books and gave them hot chocolate. They are all reading right now.

I'm going to start typing some of my poems up on these cards, put them in envelopes, and sell mystery poems for $1 at poetry readings.

I'm spending the first morning of thanksgiving break reading poetry on my couch, for some reason switching back and forth between William Wordsworth and Frank O'Hara.

Another new poem entitled, "Ode on a Depressive Episode."
