Celebrate National Poetry Month by having your students create poetry no matter what subject you're teaching.
You can let them be creative by writing poetry in science: The Chromosome Poem
or use riddles in math for problem solving: Greg Tang's spring math riddles
Here's a silly IWB activity to introduce various styles of poetry: Poetry Idea Engine

Scholastic site has these and other great ideas.
Read Write Think also offers great lessons and links to other great poetry sites
