October 8th is National Poetry Day. I got a lot of favorites. It's hard to pick from all the poets and poems. Here is one of my favorites from Shell Silverstein:

“Magic
Sandra’s seen a leprechaun,
Eddie touched a troll,
Laurie danced with witches once,
Charlie found some goblins gold.
Donald heard a mermaid sing,
Susy spied an elf,
But all the magic I have known
I've had to make myself.”

-Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends: Poems and Drawings of Shel Silverstein

 

This next one is a video every kid and most adults should take the time for. The creativity of the video is pure creative genius, and the words by Shane Koyczan...  beauty.
