I had never come across her before but will be looking her up.<br />I love the way she explores the different kinds of blue through the boy's eyes and especially the lines: <br />'He knows a string of stories, azure beads<br />be-speckled with the dust of every land;<br />so many fables, all of them quite true'<br />and<br />'This boy would hold blue heaven in his hand,<br />adventuring the way that larkspur leads'<br /><br /><br />Kim M.

I will have to check out poems she wrote about them. Nice that she is a poet laureate. Did i tell you that tiny Tofino, of 1500 souls, will have its own poet laureate this year? Rosemary, you always bring us interesting poets. Thank you for all you do.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139625267522039683.post-52326774387962240422018-01-05T11:12:49.552-05:002018-01-05T11:12:49.552-05:00"But every lesson that he reads
