A Penny for Your Thoughts
Description
<p>Have you ever loved, been loved, been confused about love, or suffered from loss of love? All these feelings have been captured and shared in the words of heartfelt poems, compiled over many years by a former teacher and award-winning author.</p><p>Sherrill S. Cannon now shares her thoughts in this book of feelings. "As a teacher, I used poetry to help counsel many troubled teens and friends, and have continued this pattern throughout the years."</p><p>There are three sections in her book: Heads, Spinning, and Tails ... (Love & Loss: Coin Toss?). The variety of lyrical poetry forms include free verse, blank verse, haiku, and sonnets. Some poems are simply plays on words.</p><p><strong>A Sign</strong></p><p>In the depths of my winter</p><p>I heard a small bird -</p><p>Braving the cold,</p><p>Bringing the word.</p><p>He gave my heart hope</p><p>As I heard him sing -</p><p>Three little notes</p><p>Promising spring.</p><p>Sherrill S.

<span style="color:#555555;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;"><span style="font-size:12px;">"Urki, beyond the forest is a unique and original story from Pixelmoon which is appropriate for kids aged 7 and older". (iHeartThisApp.com) </span></span><div><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="line-height:21px;">"For me, reading is an experience like no other. However, some people don’t share the same enthusiasm for reading as I do because they don’t experience it in the same way. I was blessed with an overactive imagination and the ability to make the words on the page drop away revealing a world hidden behind them. This book does that for me. It helps to enhance the overall experience of the story" (Leanne McGinty)</span></span><div><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:20px;"><br /></span></span><div><span style="color:#555555;font-family:Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:20px;"><br /></span></div></div></div>
