The kidlitoshpere is wildly growing with poems. Amy Ludwig VanDerwater is writing daily to wonders from Wonderopolis. I found a poem in her post, How Sweet is Honeysuckle?
The line “Words live on like echoes” came from Barry Lane’s song “Sammy Miller” from Force Field for Good.
I wrote two poems today,
one from an open window with honeysuckle
and rhyme, but this time the poem
felt not ready to be shared.Words live on like echoes…
I need to let a poem sit
read words over and over
Trust the feeling,
Move on.Words live on like echoes…
Poems make me happy.
Poems make me sing.
I pretend to be a mother hummingbird.
I like the sounds of words.Words live on like echoes…
Poems make me fall in love
with hummingbirds. I want to
plant a garden of milkweed,
trumpet honeysuckle,
& love poems
for you.Words live on like echoes.








I really like this poem and your repeating line!! Wonderful, Margaret!
Beautiful echo refrain. Wonderful words.
What you did with these is neat, Margaret. Found poems are so surprising, and when you weave two texts together, there are even more surprises. And such a pretty picture too!! xx
You make me braver.
