Ben Rimes (@techsavvyed) as just put a great poetry project online, Poetry for People. I have included his introduction video in this post. You can check out his full write up at: http://www.techsavvyed.net/?p=1315. This would be a great way to get kids excited about poetry because it offers a larger audience to read their compositions. During the spring, try it out for yourself. I have already posted a Haiku about a huge baby.
