Ah, is it Thursday already?  And a lovely Thursday it is, too.  That is, here in Lincoln, it’s gorgeous–blue skies and warm weather.  It’s one of those haiku-inspiring days.  Or maybe a day that moves one to write a  sonnet (think of spring, then think of love, then think of Shakespeare, then ask "What would Shakespeare do? Then take pen in hand).

For your reading pleasure today, still with the poetry theme, of course (only one more Thursday for poetry links!). 

Haiku:
First off, read your news headlines in haiku form at this neat little blog.  The Australian Haiku Society keeps a blog called HaikuOz and there is a website for The Haiku Society of America.

Sonnets:
Sonnet Central has sonnets, commentary on sonnets, and links on sonnets.  The Shakespeare Sonnets Read by Some Guy from New York blog has, as you may expect, some of Shakespeare’s sonnets read by some guy from New York.  Unfortunately, he stopped in November 06, but he’s read forty-eight of the bard’s poems. 

Finally, for all things poetry, including definitions of other poetry forms (limericks, too), visit the Academy of American Poets site Poets.org.

Enjoy the rest of your Thursday.
