Just wanted to say thank you for all your inspiring posts.<br><br>With my young boys we have enjoyed poetry at our house in much the same way you have at yours. We read, enjoy and discuss what we like about the poems/poet's style all in a casual, non-analytical sort of way.sort of way.

I rewarded her with a nice copybook to transcribe her memorized poems into--I stressed this could become like a different type of scrapbook.
