Poem of the Day

Running
 By: Jane Rockwell
She is always running
Running to trees and things
Things she reaches and touches
Touches – “What next, Dad?” she sings.

Sings about the flowers
Flowers, spring, and birds
Birds singing, chirping 
Chirping out the words

Words can’t describe the sunshine
Sunshine all around
Around this child watching 
Watching shadows on the ground

Ground and bugs and tiny things
Things that we don’t see
See those things a child does
Does wonder cease to be?

This is a loop poem. The last word of one line becomes the first word of the next. The rhyme scheme is abcb.
