Poetry

The poet Lola Haskins joins us again to continue her cycle of poems about her children and grandchildren.

We asked the poem Lola Haskins to share with us some of her thoughts about becoming a grandparent.

Remember those first poems we wrote in elementary school? Shelley Fraser Mickle does.

What you’re hearing is a child making his first poems — squealing with delight at the sound of his own voice, rhyming sounds, endlessly repeating what he decides will be his choruses, singing his couplets with his whole little body.
