"To see a world in a grain of sand/A heaven in a wild flower/Hold infinity in the palm of your hand/and eternity in an hour."
— William Blake

The Poetry of Childhood

The Poetry of Childhood
Richard Lewis shares the poetry of children to illustrate how their imagination creates an incandescent moment. Children are at ease with both the visible and invisible, what we know and don't know -- the pure sense of expectation and delight in the mystery of what is happening and about to happen, and they sometimes express it in poetry. Read some of their poems and join in their delight.
