Wahoo! April is National Poetry Month! Who doesn’t love a good poem? I have a confession…I didn’t really like poetry much, not too long ago. Well, I like it now and that’s all that matters:) Anyway, finding poetry is not normally a problem. Finding poetry that boys will read, sometimes proves to be difficult. I’ve listed 10 poetry books for boys. Are they the only ones out there? NO WAY! This is just a short list for your reluctant poetry reader. Here they are in no particular order. P.S. Girls will also enjoy these:)
Enjoy!

The Plot Twisted 
For those thinking poetry is for sissies, Robert Service has the machismo of Jack London. And he rhymes.
If you don’t mind terribly, I think I’ll stick to this, Trin. The minuses of Facebook seem to far outweigh the pluses 🙂
