Fire Up Those Young Poets

This title, teamed up with Singer's previous "elemental" paeans (Earth, Water) could inspire poetry from any age, any classroom level. The experience of fire, its danger, its allure, its power is implicit in each poem, with a variety of forms used. Kids could make their own book of poems, illustrate it, after being inspired by this slim but hot little volume. If your school is doing a "keep a poem in your pocket" program, this would be a good source for some "hot" poems!
