This poem is a good one. I have always been more influenced by music in the same way as you have by poetry. I think the flow of the words is the same though.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-48870742278000285232010-04-27T02:15:30.361-04:002010-04-27T02:15:30.361-04:00Milne is still popular over here, still in print, ...Milne is still popular over here, still in print, I have lots of favourite poets, the one that comes to mind is William Blake I love the Tiger.Duxbury Ramblershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171959685125369534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-56508234953375420062010-04-26T23:19:40.963-04:002010-04-26T23:19:40.963-04:00Hi Joe- Yes, Frost is a good one too.

I know kids of any era would love Milne.<br /><br />Lin- I don't know Mary Oliver. Do tell!<br /><br />Hi Jen- Thanks for stopping by. Seuss is great for its exploration of the sounds of language. I vote for some balance with more meaning too.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-26353810258122159962010-04-26T23:00:51.902-04:002010-04-26T23:00:51.902-04:00I don't know the answer to your question but I...I don't know the answer to your question but I think it is a little bit of both. I know, easy answer.

I think poetry for children doesn't have to be silly or wacky either. Lately, I have been enjoying Mary Oliver.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406042802207115346.post-59181945396702801472010-04-26T19:27:03.853-04:002010-04-26T19:27:03.853-04:00I think that by someone taking time to read poems ...I think that by someone taking time to read poems to you, then you were destined to have those poems as favorites along with the favorite memories.<br /><br />And..I love One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish too!
