I have a poem today about manners -- equally applicable to yesterday's feasting and today's shopping:

Hi, Becky. Thanks for hosting. Because we're enjoying T-day leftovers, I'm sharing a pie poem. But it's also a Pi poem -- every line corresponds to a digit in Pi. Clever Loreen Pelletier is the poet.

becky,

Thanks for doing the roundup on the day after Thanksgiving.

At Wild Rose Reader, I have pictures from the Poetry Party that was held in honor of Lee Bennett Hopkins at the 2009 NCTE Annual Convention. The post also includes a poem by Billy Collins and a link to "Eating Poetry," the poem that I wrote for Lee's tribute book.
