And haven’t we all been here? Last one of this poet, after all I did say that I was limiting my favorite poems to three per poet.

Remember that I said I found her via Irene Hunt’s book? If I remember right this is the exact poem in that book.

I found this poet as I did Sara Teasdale, via Irene Hunt’s Up a Road Slowly. She has a few that I really enjoy.

I found this in a coming of age story by Irene Hunt. It resonated with the teen girl I was and it still is a treasure in my eyes.

This poet has always been a favorite, so I was hard pressed (as I was with Emily Dickinson and Edgar Allan Poe) to choose my top three favorite poems. National poetry month is definitely allowing me to revisit verse that I have loved for a lifetime.

This one speaks so much to me. Ms. Angelou was a very gifted poet, so I had a hard time limiting my favorite ones to a manageable three. However I did. Tomorrow I will post one more by her, then I will post another favorite poet.

The first one of this poet I had to share is one that has been making it around more lately.
