The child who sees
his mother
with reverent touch
lift an early snowdrop to her lips
learns a higher lesson
than the “print-books”
can teach

Super short poem — as small as a ladybug 🙂
Poem: A Stray Sense of Comedy
Cento (collage poem)
Source Text: The Midnight, by Susan Howe
The jester walked in the garden
with his luggage on his back.
A stray sense of comedy.
He particularly enjoyed the edges of woods,
neglected stretches of cucumbers,
the cat and spilled flowers.
The garden had fallen still—
A fine and flawlessly pastoral retreat.

Poem: Come Away
Cento (collage poem)
Source Text: The Midnight, by Susan Howe
Come away,
Away children.
This is a space
children used to play.
A pirate … a soldier …
a guide in the Adirondack wilderness.
Come away—
This way,
this way.
