Just because April's over . . .

. . . and National Poetry Month has come and gone, this is no reason to forget about poetry! Make it a part of your life by reading a poem a day with your children. Their life, and yours, will be so much richer for the time spent with each other and with wonderful words!!
Here's one I came across the other day, when our beautiful Spring weather turned bitter cold, and I like it a lot.
Hope you enjoy!
Also, check out my new post following this one. It's been a while, but I'm back!


In cold spring air
by Reginald Gibbons

In cold
spring air the
white wisp-
visible
breath of
a blackbird
singing—
we don’t know
to un-
wrap these blind-
folds we
keep thinking
we are
seeing through
