Sharon Madson is our winner this month and she will receive a rubber stamp from Quietfire Design.
My dear friend Chris is visiting and brought with her a fab RAK package from Dear friend Jen Z. 
Jen and I went through lots of time together, including having babies on almost the same day!
This lovely book, was in the package,
Miracles
Poems by children of the English- speaking world edited by Richard Lewis.
along with a wonderful selection of rubber stamps!
So I altered a bit!

THIS IS A POEM
This is a poem about god looks after things:
He looks after lions, mooses, and reindeer and tigers,
anything that dies,
and mans and little girls when they get to be old,
and mothers he can look after,
and god can look after many old things
that's why I do this.

Hilary-Anne Farley, age 5, Canada

POEMS
In poems, our earth's wonders
Are windowed through
      Words           

A good poem must haunt the heart
And be heeded by the head of the 
Hearer          

With the wave of words, a poet can
Change his feelings into cool, magical, mysterious
Mirages          

Without poetry our world would be
Locked within itself--no longer enchanted by the poet's
Spell.          

Peter Kelso
age 11

I'm going to invite my young visitors to pick a fav page and do some coloring!
