Welcome to the 207th Virtual Poetry Circle!
Remember, this is just for fun and is not meant to be stressful.
Keep in mind what Molly Peacock’s books suggested. Look at a line, a stanza, sentences, and images; describe what you like or don’t like; and offer an opinion. If you missed my review of her book, check it out here.
Also, sign up for the 2013 Dive Into Poetry Challenge because its simple; you only need to read 1 book of poetry. Check out the stops on the 2013 National Poetry Month Blog Tour and the 2012 National Poetry Month Blog Tour.
Today’s poem A Strange Place to Call Home by Marilyn Singer, Illustrated by Ed Young (my review):
Well-Oiled (petroleum flies)
Thousands of them are born in carrion, water, or soil. But not this crew. They hatch in oil.
