This Is A Poem That Heals Fish
I am always inspired by new poetry, and love to find it in unexpected places. This poem is from a children’s book called This is a Poem that Heals Fish by Jean-Pierre Simeón. Enjoy!
A poem
is when you have the sky in your mouth.
It is hot like fresh bread,
when you eat it,
a little is always left over.
A poem
is when you hear
the heartbeat of a stone,
when words beat their wings.
It is a song sung in a cage.
A poem
is words turned upside down
and suddenly!
the world is new.
