I wrote poetry on my life, even when my life was anything but a poem. No lines rhymed together, no meaning held between the lines, no multiple inferences. How does it happen? How can I still write poetry on my life?

How To Pee Your Pants* *the right way by Rachel Michelle Wilson. Feiwel and Friends, 2024. 9781250910172. 32pp.
This book has helpful advice on how to hide the evidence, how to find some clean "clothes" to wear after an accident, and how to be a great friend. I loved Wilson's panicked, sad little bird, especially the way he dances at the end. (This book is the perfect companion to Gotta Go! by Frank Viva from Toon Books. https://librarycomic.com/picture-book-reviews-18/ )
I Know How to Draw an Owl by Hilary Horder Hippely and Matt James. Neal Porter, 2024. 978823456666. 32pp.
I saw this on several years best picture book lists, and if I made one it would be on mine as well. After Ms. Rio's class draws owls, she holds up Belle's as an example and asks how Bell made her owl's eyes so wise. The secret Belle doesn't want to share has to do with where Belle lives, in a car in the woods with her mom. (This book has a perfect ending, which is also about being a great friend.)
Stopping By Jungle On A Snowy Evening by Richard T. Morris, illustrated by Julie Rowan-Zoch. Caitlyn Dlouhy, 2024. 9781481478021. 40pp.
A young boy out riding a blue hippo in a snowstorm encounters the poet Robert Frost. He's supposed to be riding a horse, not a hippopotamus. Hippos live in the jungle, so the boy changes Frost's poem slightly. But it doesn't snow in the jungle, so he changes it more. Frost keeps wanting to go back to his original poem, but the boy resists, particularly after the hippo falls asleep. He wants action! So he brings in an enormous snake, karate, and more.
Worth noting: Robert Frost's original poem "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening" is reproduced on the last page.
Evergreen lines from Robert Frost, an illustrious American poet.
"The best way out is always through"
- Robert Frost

This is part 14 of my garden/nature picture series called "Nothing Gold Can Stay". The name of this series is based on the famous poem by Robert Frost. All pictures are clicked by myself. Please, check out the other parts of this series in my previous posts and show some love :-)
“I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain—and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night.” ― Robert Frost, ‘Acquainted with the Night’ ————————————————— Call to Odin Necklace (October 2020. Sold) Carved in English Oak wood
Nature’s first green is gold Her hardest hue to hold Her early leaf’s a flower But only so an hour Then leaf subsides to leaf So Eden sank to grief So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay
