Last post of today...and more poems!

Ok, so this will be my last blog message of the day, as I need to get back to the hell that is KPTP (student-teaching research paper for those non-ed people). A book that I read recently is The Persian Pickle Club, by Sandra Dallas. It is AMAZING, and I truly enjoyed it. It is about a group of women during the Dust Bowl who join together through quilting. It may sound all boring and Debbi Macomber - ish, but the ending provides a wonderful twist! Oh and last, but not least, here are some more fabulous poems. I hope the format looks okay, because I cannot view my blog, I can only post. Darn school computer blockers....


3 poems for your enjoyment...Are they getting any better??????

The Secret of Literacy

Brittle bindings,

Creaking with age,

Embrace fragile parchment

Coated with dust.

Somewhere,

In these ancient pages,

Hidden beneath the black type -

Castles.

Dragons.

A Princess.

Trapped in a world

Of darkness.

Just waiting,

For one who will free them

Into

Imagination.

Equine Optics

Feathery fringe frames

The deep dark depths

Of velvety brown.

Trust is ever-present

In the window to his soul.

Squirrel

Bushy-tailed busybody

Chattering to all who can hear

Darting around

To and fro

Up and down

Around the trees

Into the street…………..
