Waverly here, your Patch NYC News Kids' Mayor! I'm a big fan of both writing and reading poetry, and when I found out that my favorite poet , Darren Sardelli, was coming by to hang out and read and talk to me for a bit, I was so excited! A REAL POET, talking to ME! I first learned about him when he came to our school and was very inspiring to everyone, whether they were writers like me or not. I was really surprised to hear that he didn't always like writing. It just goes to show you that you never know what can happen in life! He made us all laugh so much with his poems, and I am sure that he made some people that did not like poetry into big poetry fans that day! And that is exactly what I hope to do with you today when you hear his poems and listen to my Kid-Terview with him! Check this out:
Isn't he so awesome? His poems are all really fun to read and have these cool surprise twists...I was so honored that he had one of MY poems in his pocket, OMG! As you can see behind us, he has LOTS of poems, he told us his poems are published in 23 books. Wow! So there is no excuse NOT to have a Darren Sardelli poem in YOUR pocket today!!
