Poetry Links for Children’s Writers
The web’s awash in poetry links
To satisfy your rhyming muse
Here’s a few for poets all
To glean tips, advice & news
(Sorry for the rhyming poor
But verse, for me, is very hard
Tho’ you’d think I’d have at least some knack
Being saddled with the last name Bard)

Thanks for the sites. Some of them are old favorite that got lost when my computer broke down. I write a lot of poetry and reading poetry is very important. Any tips on publishing poetry?
