A poem from the book “Ten Second Rainshowers: Poems by Young People”. Sent to me by Carol ………. Pennsylvania.

The following poem is from the book Ten Second Rainshowers:  Poems by Young People.  The poems were compiled by Sanford Lyne and the book is illustrated by Virginia Halstead.  Published by Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing – 1996.  Carol from Pennsylvania sent this to me and also recommends this book to everyone.  Sometimes children have the simplest, yet the most profound insights.

Today the sun shines

down hard, making it warm
but chilly, with the cool
breeze that comes from
nowhere; at this time of
the year, spring and
winter fight for custody
of the season.
