Did you like this poem? Do you want to share it with your friends or use it for a classroom assignment or a recitation contest? Please go right ahead. In most cases, you don’t need my permission for this. If you are going to turn in one or more of my poems as part of a classroom assignment, please just make sure you include my name as the author.
Please Note: Not all of the poems on this website have been published in a book yet, especially the Newest Poems at the top of the Poems page. If you are planning to recite a poem in a festival, poetry slam, eisteddfod, etc. and the organizers require the name of the book where the poem was published, you can find the title of the book just below the title of the poem, like this:
If you don’t see a title in that spot, it means the poem has not yet appeared in a book. While you have my permission to recite the poem anyway, if publication is a requirement of the event, you may need to select a different poem.
If you need any more information about a poem for your assignment or performance, please feel free to contact me.
I wish you the very best of luck with your schoolwork, and I hope you do incredibly well with whatever you are working on.
