It's a very unusual compilation, Gail. There's a poem on Prometheus and one on Icarus. Poems on Diwali, candles of Hanukkah, and the Trinity. One on Santa Claus, avoiding the chimney, of course. Not what one might expect.Dorainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04421672075192660319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-41582715599155828792011-03-20T19:40:51.171-04:002011-03-20T19:40:51.171-04:00Any poems in the book dealing with the fire of a b...Any poems in the book dealing with the fire of a blacksmith's forge????Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00031330729309997361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4697562568281773339.post-64000981337992287032011-03-20T17:31:22.437-04:002011-03-20T17:31:22.437-04:00Wow!

I love the idea of the fire holding a word picture of a different time. <br /><br />Sounds like you have a really great perks to your job. I think I would love delivering those book bags too.

I've never actually heard that sound, but Gary Paulsen (whose prose is often like poetry) writes of it often.
