- 3. The National Council of Teachers of English wishes to recognize and foster excellence in children's poetry by encouraging its publication and by exploring ways to acquaint teachers and children with poetry through such means as publications, programs, and displays. As one means of accomplishing this goal, NCTE established its Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children in 1977 to honor a living American poet for his or her aggregate work for children ages 3–13. The NCTE Poetry Committee gave the award annually until 1982 and every three years until 2009. In 2008 the Poetry Committee updated the criteria and changed the time frame to every other year. http://www.ncte.org/awards/poetry

- 21. THOUGHTS TAKE FLIGHT A squall of hawk wings stirs the sky. A hummingbird holds and then hies. “If I could fly, I’d choose to be Sailing through a forest of poet-trees.” A cast of crabs engraves the sand Delighting a child’s outstretched hand. "If I could breathe under the sea, I’d dive, I’d dip, I’d dance with glee." A clump of crocuses craves the sun. Kites soar while joyful dogs run. "I sing to spring, to budding green, to all of life – seen and unseen." Wee whispers drift from cloud to ear and finally reach one divining seer who looks up from her perch and beams — "West Wind is dreaming May, it seems." Golden wings open and gleam as I greet the prancing team. "Gliding aside with lyrical speed, I'd ride Pegasus to Ganymede." To a pied pocket, the zephyr returns. Blowing soft words the seer discerns "from earthbound voyage to dreamy night, The time is now. I give you flight!" Yet I fear I am no kite or bird – I lift! The world below me blurred by tears of joy. I spiral high, "I hum, I dive, I dip, I hive!" "Behold, Spring is but a dance away!" I grasp my pen, then capture this day.http://irenelatham.blogspot.com/p/2013-progressive-poem.html From poetry bloggers: Laura Purdie Salas, Irene Latham, Patricia Weaver, Mary Lee Hahn, Amy Ludwig Vanderwater, Charles Waters, and more
