Daniel Finds a Poem
Micha Archer
When Daniel notices a sign announcing “Poetry in the Park,” he asks what poetry means. In the days before the event, he puts the question to different animals in the park. Their answers connect poetry with experiences such as glistening dew, crunchy leaves, and a cool place to dive. By the time the gathering arrives, Daniel draws on what he has heard to create his own poem. The story links poetry to sensory observation, language, and feeling, including Daniel’s view of a sunset reflected in a pond.
