National Poetry Day 2012

Today is National Poetry Day 2012. To celebrate, we have been reading some poems in the library this week. This year's theme is STARS - and we all know at least one star poem.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was first published in 1806 by Jane Taylor, so we have been reading the whole poem - and singing part of it too. Other favourites have been the traditional rhyme Starlight, starbright, and the poem Your Star by James Carter. A topical poem, given the recent lights in the sky over Glasgow is The Shooting Stars by James Carter.
