April 2010
My husband Dallin loves words. He loves to play with them. He reads dictionaries to find new words. He creates with them. He studies poets and their poetry. He challenges himself to use different forms and styles. I am glad he has this outlet.
On my birthday, he took Simon out to play so I could enjoy some creative time myself.
It became a poem.
April Shadows
There’s a lot to be learned about the art
of shadow separation
by a two-year-old
oscillating
in
a red-
seated swing
fastened to a bare apple
tree on a brisk and windy day in April.

Love Simon in the swing. Interesting observation by Dallin. A poet for a father? Hmmmm. What a gift for the children.
