Thank you Lucy,
I hope teachers will feel free to use this tool. That was my aim in doing this. Feel free to pass it on to other teachers and to give me feed-back about how user-friendly it is. (or isn’t!)

Hi Andrea,
Oooo, that’s a lovely, very sad, and hopeful poem. I think you should feel more upbeat about the use of poetry in public education. I’ve seen it used and loved in many classrooms and it is usually a real highlight for teachers and students, alike. Don’t despair! Thanks for providing some poems and discussion/activity ideas to encourage student discourse on the topic of bullying. Good for you!
Lucy

Thank you for the enthusiastic response.

Yes, these poems were designed to be used as spring-boards for discussion. I hope they will prove useful to someone.

Posting them on the web has encouraged me to start writing again. Look forward to one on cyber-bullying…it is in the works…

Thank you for the encouragement.

I really didn’t know what to do with the poems, but they weren’t doing anyone any good sitting on my computer. I figured I would just thrust them into cyberspace in case anyone might find them of use.

Great poems — they’re really accessible for children. The accompanying materials are great, too. Thanks for exposing this oft-ignored issue.

Wow, Andrea, your poems are amazing. They are emotional and thought provoking

I can see a child reading or hearing one of your poems and feeling for the first time that someone “gets it”.

Great vessel for opening up the lines of communication between student/child and parent/child.

Well done…Andrea, and Harold for helping Andrea expose her talent on the web.
