A good poem can freeze an experience
forever. It can tell a story. It can make you laugh, make you cry, or make you think.  It can help you to know yourself and to understand the world. A good poem can even stay with you for a lifetime.

That’s why I read poems, why I write poems, and why I love sharing poems with kids.
