Is it hard to write poetry? In an old barn, a girl sits at a table and writes poems. She notices the rooster and the weather vane and how, in unexpected ways, they have much in common. She writes about writing poetry. It€™s not easy! Finally, in the late-night silence, €œa small gray verse runs squeaking down one of the rafters/just as the moon floats in through the double barn door.€ Discover fourteen extraordinary poems about the world around us€”and the world within our imaginations€”exquisitely illustrated with dreamlike images by a master painter.
