You’re going to wish this was waiting for you…

This was waiting on my doorstep when I came home today…

It is a treasure — an entire book of poems by Amy Ludwig Vanderwater. You know Amy, right? She hosts two remarkable blogs, The Poem Farm and Sharing Our Notebooks.

You’re going to want Forest Has a Song for your poetry collection. Spend some time over at The Poem Farm and you’ll understand why. I’m going to read Amy’s words again, savoring as poetry is meant to be enjoyed. The first time I read it I devoured it as quickly as possible. Now I’m sinking into a comfy spot, dressed in comfy clothes, and allowing the words to seep into me and restore me. This is the power of poetry.
