People are intimidated by poetry because they think they have to do a lot to make it happen.

And the truth is you don't.

You don't have to do any more to make poetry happen in your home than you do to make stories happen in your home.

This is your Morning Basket, where we help you bring truth, goodness, and beauty to your homeschool day.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 93 of the Your Morning Pasket podcast.

I'm Pam Barnhill, your host, and I am so happy that you are joining me here today.

Well, on today's episode of the podcast, I am joined by homeschooling mom and poet Sally Thomas.

Now, I very quickly discovered, as I was talking to Sally Sally that I probably could have any number of fascinating conversations with her for the podcast.

But it just so happens today we're talking about poetry.

But man, there is a wealth of homeschooling information there.

And so she makes for an absolutely fascinating guest but today we are talking about

reading poetry in your homeschool and also you know having your kids try their hand at writing a

little bit of poetry as well and what makes a poet and why does somebody want to follow that path?

So much fun.

I think you'll be inspired by the conversation.

And speaking of poetry, it is one of our very favorite things in Your Morning Basket

Plus.

Your Morning Basket Plus is where we have ready made morning time plans and monthly theme explorations for you.

We've done all the work for you to help you plan your morning time and every single set of

plans and every single exploration includes poetry that we've chosen.

So if you're still a little intimidated about picking poems, we have some really great ones that we've chosen. So if you're still a little intimidated about picking poems,

we have some really great ones that we've chosen for you and put into every set of plans.
