Find a Poem in Your Heart

        In honor of Jacqueline Woodson's being named Young People's Poet Laureate by the Poetry Foundation, I'm sharing two of my favorite poems.
                               Who Has Seen the Wind
                                                      by Christina Rosetti
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

Here's one by Emily Dickinson. Do you see a sunset over water?
                               untitled
Where ships of purple gently toss
On seas of daffodil,
Fantastic sailors mingle,
And then—the wharf is still.

And here's one of mine.
                                Daydream
White beach chair rests
               on sun-toasted sand.
                                  an invitation.

What do you love about nature?
                                                             --stay curious!
