2012 Poetry Month

Weeping Willion in Front of the Montana Branch Library

TeachingAuthors’ Jeanne Marie Grunwell Ford’s blog post reminded me that it’s National Library Week! (April 11-17th 2010)…and TeachTalk’s Jason Epstein posts a FABULOUS 57 minute audio about school libraries…called Circulate This!  Stories From the School LibraryThe stories in this audio journal are beautifully collected by Joe McHugh and Connie Williams in cooperation with the California School Library Association.  (and…ahem…I’m interviewed about 20:07 minutes into it…)

Today’s poem is a haiku in honor of the wonderful little Montana Branch library in Santa Monica where I grew up.

WEEPING WILLOW IN FRONT OF
THE MONTANA BRANCH LIBRARY
DURING NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK

Celebrating this
branch, she sways to a green song
swinging her branches.
