National Poetry Month - Day 8

[wordsrmylife]

Today was the 2nd Thursday of the month, and that means that members of my local Rotary were reading to classes at the local elementary school. Because it's National Poetry Month, I chose Donald Hall's The Ox-Cart Man and Christopher Myers Jabberwocky. I was pleased to see how many of them already owned or knew Donald Hall's marvelous book.

From my childhood? Nursery rhymes, of course. And a few poems I heard from grandparents - including my grandfather's Woodpecker poem (I posted it a few weeks ago) and John Masefield's "I Must Down to the Sea Again".
