The day of deliciousness for poets is nigh and getting nigher. National Poetry Day’s theme this year is vision, and I have a few poetry films to share up until the day.
In fact they are all bird poems.
Today it is the Curlew – the curlew is a rare and getting rarer sight, in fact it has just been declared endangered in the UK.
Hope you enjoyed that.
The National Poetry Day website is FULL of poets and poems and lesson plans and posters and general poetic delightfulness if you’d like to visit and find something to see or use on National Poetry Day.

One thought on “National Poetry Day is Nigh!”
Lovely stuff. I’ve written a resource for teachers (or anyone else) on the Vision theme on the Teachit site: https://tinyurl.com/y5vgr8ls
