I have a children's book you MUST read...Ahhh!.. I have a children's book you MUST read! It's about a young boy who hates writing poetry, but Williams' poem and other inspirations serve as a catalyst for some of his best writing. It's one of my favorite children's books!!! It's called "Love That Dog" by Sharon Creech. It was a terrific book to share with some of my reluctant readers this year! :)Bethany Walberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05682307285713636155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441643998803471458.post-9360112941369128352011-04-01T22:37:40.127-04:002011-04-01T22:37:40.127-04:00Taking each moment as meaningful & each breath...Taking each moment as meaningful & each breath as bread?<br /><br />leah... here you touched on one of my favorite poems :) i love your insights, friend... you write so beautifully. for me, i find such rest in william's words. i think it speaks to me as an artist: the color, the bright vivid color, makes life worth it... life, in all of its ash and grey...<br /><br />riveting post. xoMommy Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09989213786947802537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441643998803471458.post-80199019726094634442011-04-01T14:23:50.428-04:002011-04-01T14:23:50.428-04:00this is beautiful writing!!this is beautiful writing!!Heather Matternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05862489547281407560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7441643998803471458.post-41524059270525730452011-03-31T15:40:45.195-04:002011-03-31T15:40:45.195-04:00that's a nice lesson...

And indeed this doctor ...I thoroughly enjoyed this. And indeed this doctor poet's intention was simply that, an assortment of words without the investment of deeper meaning. But this is impossible, isn't it? Art is as much about the artist's intention as is about the reader's experience and in this case, if the reader recognizes the archetype of the rain or the red wheel barrow, then the doctor poet has little say in the matter!cathyhttp://cathykozak.comnoreply@blogger.com
