My selection is "Pizza, Pigs, and Poetry: how to write a poem" by Jack Prelutsky.
Poetry writing tips from Jack Prelutsky, Children's
Poet Laureate -- I could probably stop right there.
But let me add that Prelutsky offers readers
some insider advice on how to write in a variety of poetry forms along with
some thoughtful suggestions about where to find ideas. He's not at all shy
about demonstrating how some of his personal memories found their way into
verse. He also provides an analysis of
some of his poetry that is a delightful peek at how this very successful
mind works. Aspiring young writers will
find some exercises to get the poetical ball rolling. Even if you never intend to craft a verse,
this book is fun for anyone who appreciates word play.
