I'm green but not a frogAnd smaller than a dog.I'm light and fglirae too -Don't stomp me with your shoe!You have a happy faceAs you hold me in one place.I'm filled so full of airYou can bounce me on your hair.I wobble when you move,But I'm always very smooth.Don't touch me with a pinOr my air will not stay in!Be careful or Oh! Oh!You now have let me go!The air is squirting out!I'm jerking all about!I'm flying really fast!The noise is like a blast!The air is gone. I stop.I cannot fly. I flop.Hey, that was lots of fun!Let's do another one!

I really see the adtutite you describe in my students. Our senior curriculum has absolutely no poetry, and when I told my seniors we would be reading some poetry at the end of the year, they groaned and complained. They would prefer to read nonfiction essays about various social and political issues that poetry of any kind. Why? Because they don't get it and can't cope with being confused or not have the answer . The situation can't be helped by President Obama's push for so many more math and science jobs with little emphasis on arts (both liberal arts and fine arts). Education is now driven by data and testing. Americans seem to be trying to live mathematically and scientifically. I don't think that works out too well, being Tin Men.

Thanks for the recommendation, Joe. I was unaamilifr with Koethe, but I'm really intrigued after reading the sample poems on his bio page. It seems as if he starts with an image, moves on and around the image, and somehow draws it back together. I'll have to look into some more of his work.Did you ever get my email regarding a list of elliptical poets?
