carried from home to school
clutched in chubby hand
tiny simple gift
brings precious beauty
to a teacher’s heart.

“sometimes, said pooh, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”

today we found a beautiful flower that survived
under the snow and ice and rain and arctic temperatures of january.
were very surprised.
it must be enchanted.
“the only words that ever satisfied me as describing nature
are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment.
they express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery.”
