Here is our last poetry post for the Poems for Soul series. We had so many entries we decided to extend it into May. Here is a collection favorite poems from RBPL Staff and friends that we would love to share with you.
Miss Gail will be starting off our collection reading “Bad” by Stephen Dunn.
Here is a poem from one of our young patrons named Otto T. who wrote this poem to show appreciation for his teacher Miss May.
Miss May likes to play
with hay and clay.
She makes a cake
with clay and hay.
What do you say, we
eat her clay and hay?
Down by the bay.
Cake, clay, hay.
Next Miss Jaime selected a poem to celebrate Mother’s Day and show appreciation to her mother and all the mothers that make our lives worhtwhile. It’s called “My Mother Poem” by Ann Taylor.
The poem, On Aging by Maya Angelou, was recommended by our friend Jay who you might have seen volunteering at our library.
It is read by Jaime Pfisterer.
