Share a poem (or two)!

It's the final day of National Poetry Month. How shall we celebrate? Let me count the ways...

• Read some poetry
  
• Post a favorite poem in the comments
  
• Write a poem (you can post that too! :) )
• Visit SortaCrunchy for even more poetry
  

I decided to post two poems from my childhood since this is blog is about kid/baby stuff mostly when I don't get distracted in theory. The first is one I remember my dad reciting when I was little, and the second is one I memorized as a child.

Fog
by Carl Sandburg

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

The Whole Duty of Children
by Robert Louis Stevenson

A child should always say what’s true
And speak when he is spoken to
And behave mannerly at the table
At least as far as he is able.
