Poem Share #8: Michelle Schaub Presents "Granny's Teapots"



POEM SHARE: Children's poets from across the county presenting their favorite poems for Poetry Month and beyond!

Hey all you collectors out there, Michelle Schaub (that's me,) has a poem to share with you. It's called "Granny's Teapots" and it's about a grandmother's collection of teapots.  In this personification poem, I imagine that the teapots are all dressed in fancy party clothes, waiting for a tea party. 

Enjoy the rest of the poems in FINDING TREASURE: A COLLECTION OF COLLECTIONS with poems about collecting everything from seashells to snow globes.  Then check out FRESH-PICKED POETRY: A DAY AT THE FARMERS' MARKET to celebrate the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the market.

    Such a lovely memory of your grandmother, Michelle, and a special time you shared. I collected shells, dolls from around the world, and stamps. Thanks for the delightful video!

    Hi Michelle,
    Your video was terrific. So nicely done and appealing plus a great poem about collecting memories along with teapots! So much fun with showing the teapot and demonstrating akimbo arms. Yay! PS I finally bought a halo light for the next time I am going to make a video. I really need practice and these are fun. The final thing I need is some kind of teleprompter so I can read my poem and look into the camera. LOL!!

    Love this, and I'll ditto that message about Finding Treasure, which I got before having the pleasure to "meet" you on-line. :)

    It's so fun to hear you read the poem, Michelle! I really enjoyed the book, but it's extra special when you perform it.

    Oh, fun! Love the idea of collections. Can you tell I'm a collector at heart?
