SEARCHING FOR POETRY?
Warning: Please do not put any poetry into your anthology that you do not like!
1. Don't forget the school library. There are books there, you know. That's the best place to start your search. Use the Internet second, not first.
2. Places on the Internet to search for poetry by theme:
Note: These will open up a new window, so you can search around, and then come right back to this page.
- Find Poetry searches the whole Internet at once to find poetry. Type in a key word and see what happens...or, click on one of their categories.

- The Poetry Portal asks if you like your poetry "Quick and Slick" or "Arty". Under either category, click Poems By Category, and you can select from a long list of themes, from "addiction" to "youth".
