Events in everyday life have been recited, chanted, and sung since the beginnings of language. In ballad or rap, sonnet or blues, poetry is the imaginative expression that illuminates something within us. But many children, and adults, shy away from poetry, thinking it's too complicated, remote, obscure--the baffling cousin to prose. Fly with Poetry, a witty, insightful collection of original poems, introduces a rich variety of poetic forms and techniques--some handed down through the centuries, others comparatively new--and all presented in a clear, reader-friendly format. Through poetry with its myriad of forms there is no limit to the imagination. This fresh collection will inspire beginning poets of all ages to explore and discover the delight and excitement of words and language structure, and perhaps even create new forms of their own.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49563675754769,"sku":"GOR003713383","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50480726606097,"sku":"CIN1563977982G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1563977982.jpg?v=1751245445"},{"product_id":"african-acrostics-book-avis-harley-9780763636210","title":"African Acrostics","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361215713553,"sku":"CIN0763636215G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52770543829265,"sku":"CIN0763636215VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0763636215.jpg?v=1751394556"},{"product_id":"leap-into-poetry-book-avis-harley-9781563974380","title":"Leap Into Poetry","description":"Poet Avis Harley continues her winning combination of poetic forms and bright illustrations in a handsome new collection.

Why are butterflies so universally loved? Is it the dazzling colors in exquisite winged art? Is it our reaction to amazing feats of flight? Is it the miracle of change that fascinates us--that wonderful metamorphosis from tiny egg to brilliant insect? Avis Harley explores these questions and the many others that have captivated humans throughout history. Eighteen structured poems--haikus, tanka, sonnets, villanelles, and other forms--examine how monarch butterflies taste with their feet, migrate 2500 miles every year, and cover entire forest groves when they rest. A Small Matters section at the back explains the fact and science in the poems refer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50392240816401,"sku":"CIN1590785584G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1590785584.jpg?v=1750762892"},{"product_id":"african-acrostics-book-avis-harley-9780763658182","title":"African Acrostics","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"This belongs in every collection -- for the poetry, for the photographs, for the information.\" -- \u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e (starred review)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Illustrated with gorgeous full-color photographs, this collection sends poetry buffs and animal lovers on an armchair safari they'll never forget.
