In reply to Amy. That's so nice to hear, Amy! This morning at breakfast my 5 year old also recited the poem from memory--, also with no intentional memorization. Although my 9 year old didn't!

Our first week of the challenge was wonderful. My 5 year-old asked to read the poem every day. She has half of it memorized without any intentional memorization. Her enjoyment led me to start reading A Child's Garden of Verses aloud to her. She now asks to read "poems" every day. I never would have started this at this age without your challenge. Thank you!

In reply to Maria Gianferrari. The best part of this poetry challenge is that you don't have to confine it just to Nat'l Poetry Month. :) I'm so glad you are enjoying the poems.

Thanks so much, Erica! I wasn't able to participate last week, but I'll try it this week. I LOVE Emily Dickinson. I just subscribed to the Prowling Bee--thanks for sharing that!!
