In your poem, admiring the way the title is enough to connect your original words to Bob Marley's lyrics. It sounds like a wonderful mindfulness practice to share with your new second graders.<br /><br />My Poetry Friday post is another novel and poem pairing. This time, it's Yeats' "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" with Rebecca Podos' atmospheric YA, THE MYSTERY OF HOLLOW PLACES. http://laurashovan.com/2016/08/lauras-bookshelf-the-mystery-of-hollow-places/author amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800868615186010584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-728080200417593372016-08-25T22:03:27.185-04:002016-08-25T22:03:27.185-04:00I love this, Diane!
