On Reading Freligh's "Wondrous"

 

Do you remember reading this book, as an elementary school student? or to children you knew? It's so lovely. So are the two poems -- one by Rochester-area poet, Sarah Freligh, and one I wrote after I read her poem -- I'm sharing today. Enjoy.

Inspired by Amy Maricle's Inchie Challenge Day 1, Lift, I created this tiny art and wrote a poem to go with it:
