*** Update ****
Thank you, all you early birds. My post will be slightly delayed this morning because my son lost his custom mouthguard yesterday at a park and I need to go search the park for his $#*^#$ mouthguard.
At 9am the post will go live with all the links from you lovely early birds. THANK YOU!

Hello! I am sharing one of my favorite poems that I am using to kick off my “Poetry Breaks!” for the new school year.
Hi, Katya–
Thanks for hosting (and I owe you a poem! Let’s pretend that summer’s not over.) My post goes live at 6 am too, an interesting poem involving a panda’s behind and Alice down the rabbit hole. http://myjuicylittleuniverse.blogspot.com/ for now.
Thank you for the early start and for hosting! At NC Teacher Stuff, I have a post featuring Sid Farrar’s debut book, The Year Comes Round: Haiku through the Seasons.
My posts will be up after midnight. Thanks for the opportunity to comment tonight.

Today I’m sharing one of the poems I wrote for Laura Purdie Salas’s 15-words-or-less prompts, called “Train song.” It’s here.
I had another post, but had such a wonderful thing happen in the evening that I wrote about it. http://teacherdance.blogspot.com/2012/09/poetry-friday-time-evenings-gift.html Thanks for hosting, Katya!

Good morning! My post is the answer to a colleague’s question about how Poetry Friday works in my classroom.

Hi, Katya. Good luck finding that mouth guard. (We were “rescued” once by a nice movie theater manager who found my son’s missing retainer on the theater floor.)
Today, I am featuring the release of The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton, 1965-2010. This book will blow you away because of the depth and breadth of Clifton’s work. A writing prompt for MS/HS students is included.

Hi Katya,
Hope you found the mouthguard! One time when I was a kid, I accidentally threw away my retainer at Burger King. Whoops!
I have a poem by Scott Armitage today: http://tabathayeatts.blogspot.com/
Thanks for hosting, Katya! Now that I’m finished working my 5-day weekend at the local fair, I offer this: http://mattforrest.wordpress.com/2012/09/07/poetry-friday-although-maybe-i-should-go-back-for-some-pizza/
