Golden Shovel Poems. There is a poem nestled in my email each morning. Itâs the Poem-A-Day from the National Academy of Poets. I often skip it by, moving into the more urgent emails first. And then the day goes by without reading the poem. One of my resolutions for 2014 is to actually read the poem first. Todayâs poem is from Camilla Dungy and follows the Golden Shovel acrostic form created/popularized* by Terrance Hayes. Hayes used the words from Gwendolyn Brooksâ poem We Real Cool as the last word in each line to create his poem The Golden Shovel. Dungy also used Brooksâ poem to write Because it looked hotter that way.
