I love your poem. It's so down to earth, and shows that poetry is not all about puffs of clouds on a summer day. Rather, it's the stuff of our everyday lives...if we can only reveal this to others...and ourselves. Janet Dear George,

Your poem was run as part of April's National Poetry Month series (a poem a day). I love your poem. It's so down to earth, and shows that poetry is not all about puffs of clouds on a summer day. Rather, it's the stuff of our everyday lives...if we can only reveal this to others...and ourselves.

Janet

In case you or your audience want to follow up, you might want to read the brief nominating essay by Theresa Gill in _Teaching With Fire_ where the poem was also reprinted.
