Poetry let out of its gilded cage for sharing news stories or other real world happenings where poetry surprisingly shows up.

Through the Year with Longfellow, where TonjaE will be sharing a small verse a day from a rare edition she acquired (jealous much?) of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poetry.

>3 DebiCates: Just a small verse each day, to stir up and drink in really.
A whole Longfellow every day would be too much Longfellow. ;)

>4 TonjaE: True. LOL.
