How much do we love poetry? Let us count the ways! April is National Poetry Month, and we have lots of fun activity ideas to help you celebrate. Here are suggestions for contests, projects, papers, assignments, and videos that are sure to get students excited and deepen their appreciation of poetry.  Engage Students with Bloom’s Literature Bloom’s Literature, an essential go-to source for poetry assignments and projects, features 3,000+ full-text poems, each with a corresponding analytical entry that allows students and researchers to enhance their understanding of a poem’s power by reading the poem alongside criticism of it. Bloom’s also features a Literary Classics eBook shelf with the full text of many books of classic poetry, including ones written by Emily Dickinson, Geoffrey Chaucer, H.D., John Keats, Lord Byron, Charles Baudelaire, Robert Frost, Christina Rossetti, Robert Browning, William Butler Yeats, and more.  Ideas for project, papers, library, and classroom use: Ask students to select a poem and “rewrite” or update it for today’s audience.
