books on the floor
books in a chair
books all around
stretch out
on the floor
let the kids
climb on a back
no matter
how weary
get those accents
ready
all the acting
cued up
voice prepped
for action
and then
the giggles begin
woven around story
and knowledge
and magic
this is how
to read to your children
This is an excerpt from This is How You Know: a book of poetry. For more poetry, visit my starter library, where you can get some for free.
