Kenn Nesbitt's wonderful anthology, ONE MINUTE TILL BEDTIME, debuted on November 1, 2016 and was promptly named a Publisher's Weekly Best Book of 2016. And I agree. It's an eclectic collection of poems from over 130 children's poets, meant to be read in one minute or less. My limerick, entitled "Skateboard Girl" is included, and I couldn't be more thrilled.
But this blog tour's focus is on poems that were submitted but didnt' make it into the collection. Here is one of mine that didn't make it and an image to go along with it:

Summertime Horses
All summer long we played horses--
galloping through green yards,
our ponytails streaming in the wind.

Working with Kenn Nesbitt is a treat! I first became acquainted with him when he was the Children's Poet Laureate and was posting a poem for every day of the school year at PoetryMinute.org. He posted two of my poems, "Dream Train" and "High Dive," another limerick.
Please visit amazon to have a look at this anthology. I loved it from beginning to end! The poems are quite diverse and perfect for reading to your litttle ones before bed!

For more poems that didn’t make the cut, visit the roundup at Jackie Hoskings Blog, which has many other poems submitted but not accepted into OMTB. Jackie also includes links to other Poetry Friday poets who are sharing their poems on their own blogs (as I have done). Thanks to Jackie for all her hard work! And thanks, once again, to Kenn, for including my poem in this exciting anthology! It was a pleasure to work with you, as always.
