World Book Day: Peace Poems

It’s World Book Day, but along with many others, I’m sure, my thoughts and heart lie with the people of Ukraine today.
Therefore the poems I will share will all be peace poems.
Snow
Swirling slowly
in lilting flight,
as cold as stars,
the soundless white
.
of drifting feathers
spreading wings,
to sing the songs
that snowflakes sing,
.
of how small gifts
of peace and light
can change the world
in just one night.

Happy World Book Day 2021!
I thought I’d post some poems about books – this one is inspired by Skylarks’ War by Hilary McKay. I hope it makes you want to read it and then recommend it to others!
