I'm not a big fan of his fiction, but I sure love this poem. I love the line - 'and mother cuts chrysanthemums.' <br /><br />Val, I'm very glad you like it.<br /><br />JC, it is just beautiful around here. Sunny, sunny but not hot. Perfect.<br /><br />Conny, what a nice thing to say. I love it.<br /><br />Lisa, I wonder if anyone else ever called him that :<)<br /><br />Debbie, me, too. That's what the best poems should do, I think.<br /><br />Common Weeder, that's a great description. <br /><br />Sarah and Susan, no I haven't seen it, but will look into it. Funny how the so-called 'easy' poems are thought of as for children, when really we all can appreciate them, often more than many 'adult' poems. Wonderful connection with TSH, Sarah.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-70478597258879765002009-09-04T20:01:52.287-04:002009-09-04T20:01:52.287-04:00Love that one - it appears in his lovely children&...Love that one - it appears in his lovely children's book A Child's Calendar (one of my all time favorites ) which have the gorgeous illustrations from the late Trina Schart Hyman.Susan Moorheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06744130110550636177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-77715387000044800882009-09-04T18:50:42.670-04:002009-09-04T18:50:42.670-04:00I love this poem.
