Such an important reminder for parents and caregivers, too - it's OK for kids to be bored, in fact it's a blessing, because that's when we can truly take the time to contemplate and imagine and create!Jane @ www.raincitylibrarian.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721142460522914540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-38236844985543301182018-12-22T06:55:32.318-05:002018-12-22T06:55:32.318-05:00What a delicious post!

I like it even more with Amy's response.Thanks also for the link to the fascinating article about poetry, our emotions, what poetry triggers and effects it may have on us. I have a very old copy of Longfellow's Hiawatha by my bed that I pick up every once and while and read–I'm drawn to it for the nature connection but I don't like his prejudices that come out here and there.Michelle Koganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575814872372518994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20429083.post-22084446307512486282018-12-21T22:23:28.524-05:002018-12-21T22:23:28.524-05:00Mary Lee, I am thankful for you and for #haikuforh...Mary Lee, I am thankful for you and for #haikuforhope.
