 so many things
are waiting in the street
to trip you up.

like prayer, there are
dangers in the street.
watch your step and remember
that falling was always
a part of the plan.

the feast of stories, lives, words,
poems in rhyme or not,

 What will you leave behind for
those who come after you;
can you spare some very
small words printed on
some very small papers with
numbers of one and five and ten
or perhaps some silver or copper
pieces, perhaps, to purchase some
more words to leave behind?

 When you need to know
the world in a globe,
a library holds
the whole planet for you
to set sail, dig in, dive deep,

 Picture books
of every size
fit the hands and
fit the eyes
of the smallest people
who love to read
about Daisy-Head Mayzie
and Mulberry Street. Continue reading...

 Paperback books travel well in
and out of airports, pockets,
bathtubs, friends and acquaintances;
a portable, shareable, light-
handed carousel telling of
stories. Continue reading...

 Read me! Read me!
Read me next!
Look at my pictures
and tell the text!
So many! So many!
So many to choose!

| Every day has a poem. I watch, I listen, I think, I pray. When I hear a poem, I write it down. Sometimes I find a picture that illustrates the day. I am always surprised. I hope you will be, too.
A writer of many genres, Sally Clark loves living in a small town with her husband where their grown children and five grandchildren all live within walking distance. Crowded with relationships, busy with activities, Sally takes refuge on the balcony of their old Victorian house - the perfect place to pen her thoughts.
