Should Always Be In Print

I was given this book in 1968 and it remains one of my favorites. Why? Because until very recently it was the only book of poetry written by children that I could find. As a child I loved reading poems written by other children. The language and metaphors sounded real to me, as in "I hear the drummers strike the sky" to describe "Thunder". I continue to be touched and inspired by the poignant clarity found in the poems of "Miracles"."Miracles" is a wonderful book for anyone who enjoys the poet voice. It should ALWAYS be in print. Children need to know and have such examples of their own muse. And adults need to listen and be reminded of their own.
