Shape Poems. In this online tool, elementary students can write poems based on shapes from five different categories: Nature, School, Sports, Celebrations, and Shapes.
Within these categories, 32 different shapes are included. By selecting a shape, students are learning how to focus their writing on a particular topic or theme. In addition, as part of the online tool, students are prompted to brainstorm, write, and revise their poems, thus reinforcing elements of the writing process. Students can save their draft poems to revise later.

The Hypnotiser - is this the world's first video poetry book?
I wrote a book of poems for children called 'The Hypnotiser' some years ago and then it went out of print. I couldn't get anyone to reprint it, so I asked my son Joe to film me performing the book for this website. All you need to do is click on whichever poem you want in the list on the right. There are second hand copies of 'The Hypnotiser' available on various sites on the web, most obviously at Amazon, abe Books.com and ebay. Tell me if you like it, and if you do, I'll do the other books of mine that are out of print like 'Mind Your Own Business', 'Wouldn't You Like to Know', 'When Did You Last Wash Your Feet?
