Poetry Friday, with Sylvia Vardell at Poetry for Children this week! She, with Janet Wong, are celebrating a new poetry book for school leaders, helping them greet the day. It's Great Morning! Poems for School Leaders to Read Aloud and it, like all the other books from Sylvia and Janet, is filled with poets you know and their poems this time for the best greetings to the day. Thanks, Sylvia for hosting, and both of you for this new book.My family and I leave for Costa Rica on Saturday! I'll try to visit as many posts as possible but may not make it to all this time.
Here's a poem of anticipation.
Mapping Vacation
I consider the photos
with inviting ocean blues,
Note the azure view! --
a roadmap to the days away
chooses me,
chooses me,
echoing sea waves of the past,
chasing a burst of family time
signaling days called slow.
Anticipate!
Anticipate!
It’s nearly time to go.
