POWM BOOK

I woke up to a present from Fred. She'd made the book herself,
illustrated it and written the poems while Martin and I slept in.

I reckon she's got a bit of the Thoreau about her...

'I went to the horse
to dance with it of course'

'I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately'

(Only Fred's powms are more joyous and less waffly)

It's obvious that I have been a mother (well, still am),and worked in early childhood education. I didn't need the translation.
