My Quiet Time
November
The Cold Gray Days of Winter
Winter Calls
Snowfall in the City
The Wild Geese
Summertime

What's A Poem?
Young readers will gain an understanding of the wonder and joy of poetry, as well as a positive look at the natural world around them. In the words of Charles Ghigna, “It is the joyous power of poetry that turns listeners into readers and readers into writers.”
