Okay, so how about this? Do you all relate to this – when something exciting happened at school (or perhaps you learned something really interesting), and you couldn’t wait to share the day’s excitement with others?
| Look at this wonderful little poem by Dickinson, “the Hills in Purple syllables.” The hills can’t wait to tell of their adventures “just going Home from School” – and I assume their teacher was Mother Nature – and since their syllables were “Purple,” I wonder if they were excited to share the start of spring? |
Or perhaps in today’s poem, there was a spectacular sunrise? Afterall, another of Dickinson’s poems begins, “The Sun—just touched the Morning / The Morning—Happy thing / Supposed that He had come to dwell / And Life would all be Spring!”
Ah – there’s springtime again!
What do you think the Hills are excited about?
