    As a poetry ignorant dad of a preschooler, man am I glad to have this pop up on my All feed. Hit me right at home.

    Yup, saving this one to read to the family tonight.

    Hits harder with age. I wouldn’t want to leave my haunted house.

        A few a week, when they strike me.

        Sometimes my wife is listening, sometimes not. I just like sharing things I found interesting in a day with her. Lately it’s a poem or two!

    That’s the second poem of hers that makes me stop and ponder (the other one has something about gentle hands still being a cage). Immna have to buy zig-zag girl, which would be the first time I buy poetry! Thanks for sharing!
