National Poetry Month — Found Poetry

Found Poetry from Ray Bradbury’s Zen in the Art of Writing

(from page 8 in the edition linked to above)

Ideas lie
everywhere
like apples fallen
and melting in the grass
for lack of wayfaring strangers
with an eye
and a tongue
for beauty, whether absurd,
horrific, 
or genteel.

— Ray Bradbury

  1. I love this…thanks for sharing it, Kristy. And a little bird (named Linda) just told me that you’ll be at NESCBWI this year, so I will see you next month – yay!
