Happy National Poetry Day Week from me! If you don’t know who I am, I’m a children’s poet, I own Lola the poet assistance dog, I quite enjoy performing but prefer organising poetry events, I write this blog, and my own, and I have five published books, the latest of which is Be the Change, Poems to Help you Save the World, from which the following poem comes. It is not too late to change the world. The truth is we just need to love one another, help one another and cooperate with one another.
Snow
Swirling slowly
in lilting flight,
as cold as stars,
in soundless white,
their drifting feathers
spread their wings,
and sing the songs
that snowflakes sing,
of how small gifts
of peace and light
can change the world
in just one night.
