Happy National Poetry Month!

Happy National Poetry Month!

To celebrate here in Youth Services, everyday we'll feature a Wordle created from the text of a poem.

What's a Wordle?  Well the easy answer is to take a look below.  A Wordle is a picture made from word, any words.  They're fun to make.  Try one of your own!

Today's poem comes from the book Hip Hop Speaks to Children. It's called Hip Hop Rules the World.   The author is Jacqueline Woodson.  Besides being a poet, Ms. Woodson has written several novels for all ages.

Looking for more poetry?  Come to any Dearborn Library and check out the Dewey Number 811.  Share your favorite poems with us.  If you do, we'll have something special for you.  Ask the librarian what her favorite poem is. 

Oh. yeah.  It's Spring Break!  Join us for activities all week.  Share a joke with us today and get a prize!

Stop by tomorrow for another poem!
