My book spine poem for NPM 2017:
She walks in beauty
A jar of tiny stars
Awakening the heart
Opening a door
House of light
Pass the poetry, please!
Continuing my alphabetic stroll
through National Poetry Month
with a book of poetry focused
on the letter T for Earth Day . . .
The Tree That Time Built:
a celebration of nature, science, and imagination
selected by Mary Ann Hoberman and Linda Winston
I love this anthology which includes an audio CD with readings of 44 poems from the book, including 18 poets reading their own works. A glossary is included at the end of the book along with suggestions for further reading and research and short biographical snippets about each of the poets.
Two of my favorite poems from the book (which I selected
without realizing that they fit my T theme for Day 22) are
When we pause to celebrate, we find the joy.
A week filled with moments to celebrate and remember.

This little guy is all smiles!
We have one more week until
Mom goes back to work and
Grandma starts her new job as
Granny Nanny (3 days a week).

Spring is busting out all over!
We had sunshine and temps
in the mid sixties on Friday!
And I'll close with these words from
"A Prayer in Spring."
" . . . keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year."
You can read the entire poem
by Robert Frost at the Writer's Almanac.
Have a wonderful weekend and
keep celebrating the goodness!

ReplyDeleteAs always your posts fill me with joy. Pure and simple. Thank you, Ramona.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to hear about the book, and to see those grand-boys! You get to keep Jack 3 days. That is something to celebrate, and his parents must be happy about it and so appreciative.
