Anastasia's Rain

Sheila Kilpatrick

Summary

It’s Anastasia Pickering’s birthday and that means a dog is in the forecast!—as well as a lesson on patience and trust.  Anastasia’s Rain, a book of magical proportions, not only teaches children the value of a positive attitude and the virtue of patience, it also teaches the importance of listening to the guidance of one’s fairy/inner wisdom. Children ages four to nine will marvel at the magical raindrops that appear each time Anastasia finds herself in a pickle, and they’ll cheer her on as she resolves the problem by listening to the sage advice of Patience, her ponytail-riding fairy. This book, along with its beautiful artwork, is a teaching tool in values and life lessons that every parent will appreciate!

How To Write a Love Poem - Your...

HowExpert, Howard Moore

If you want to learn how to write a love poem, then check out "How To Write a Love Poem" written by a love poetry enthusiast.
Love poetry can be about romantic love but far more. It can be about love of country, of a people or nation. It can be about love of ideals such as freedom and peace. Poetry can be rhymed or written in one of many recognized forms of poetry (such as a Sonnet). It can be unrhymed and follow no uniform pattern. Love poetry can be inspired by experiences, the classics, legends, heroic figures, patriotism, personal ideals or even the works of other poets.
The first step is to understand what love poetry is: a way to relate feelings to the art of words. It is the skillful use of words to bring ideas about feelings and emotions to a reader. One important skill is to be able to capture an image. This should be done in as few words as possible; it can also be done very effectively at the beginning of the write such as in the opening lines or first stanza. Love can mean many things in addition to romantic love: love of a place, a people, a nation; it can be love of people for various reasons. Relationships, friendships, and family are examples of love of this kind. There are unique and special bonds of love between parent and child. Once the image is captured there are choices for the writer to make: to rhyme, use a poetry form; use free verse, use images, or develop a metaphor so that some few words will stand for something much larger in scope.
