~Butterfly,
I Like the Way You Wear Your Wings.
Show Me Their Colors,
For the Light is Going.
Spread Out Their Edges of Gold,
Before the Sandman Puts Me to Sleep
And Evening Murmurs By.~

Poems By a Little Girl
A Little Poem Book For Inspiration.
But I must Say That
Hilda Conkling Poetry is Inspiration in itself!
Growing Up In Northampton Massachusetts
in the early 1900's,
Hilda Began Displaying her talents
to Her Parents through Songs
At the Age of Four.
Her Mother Diligently
putting Down to Paper
her Creative Verse.
putting Down to Paper
her Creative Verse.
And By the age of Merely Ten years old,
she Published Her First Poetry Book
Poems By a Little Girl.
Her Works Lend Themselves so well
to Mixed Media Art I think.
April is National Poetry Month
so I thought it would be Fun
so I thought it would be Fun
to Create a Piece centered
around a Poem.
