National Day on Writing

The National Center of Teachers of English established October 20 as the National Day on Writing.  The organizers encourage everyone to try their hand at writing, whether it be poetry or prose. Remember that songs are poems set to music, and some of the best-remembered poems of our times are actually lyrics from songs.  Anyone can try it!  If you want some help, check out these books from the Music Collection:
