Susan - ...SB and Cloudia - thanks, as always. :-)<br /><br />Susan - oh, yessss! That evil pop-op!<br /><br />Sandy - I love Billy Collins too. His poetry is so accessible without suffering in its quality and depth one little bit. At least in my opinion, though I am no poetry scholar.<br /><br />gfid - a stimulating environment is a must for the little ones! I noticed that while the little boy was reciting the poem, his hands were busy putting something together. Knowing young children very well, he is probably very active and wouldn't stand still for the camera, so they occupied him with something simultaneously. He must be reading, too. Probably taught himself, which is the way it usually happens with gifted kids.<br /><br />Yogi - I find the boy's phrasing to be really nice. All cuteness aside, I actually like this reading better than Billy Collins' own reading of the same poem.<br /><br />Stewart - I found it magical but then again, small things have a huge impact on me. I must be easy to please! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17296223961815248113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-79322291263899518512011-05-16T13:44:36.124-04:002011-05-16T13:44:36.124-04:00Pure Magic.Pure Magic.imachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533409255215440113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-28215312689569228992011-05-16T07:39:53.206-04:002011-05-16T07:39:53.206-04:00Very interesting (intriguing but not scary to me) ...Very interesting (intriguing but not scary to me) poem and cute reading.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-78725122638326335632011-05-16T03:30:49.631-04:002011-05-16T03:30:49.631-04:00i love the room behind this sparky little guy... b...i love the room behind this sparky little guy... books askew on shelves, a piano, toys everywhere. this is a house overflowing with living, and thinking, and creativity.gfidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452490194253665370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-40033472980112980632011-05-15T20:56:07.191-04:002011-05-15T20:56:07.191-04:00Because when I clicked on the highlighted words I ...Because when I clicked on the highlighted words I was sent to a site that offered me free coupons :-)susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-52333597681355426392011-05-15T19:57:26.484-04:002011-05-15T19:57:26.484-04:00We are what we are and who we are and to be known ...We are what we are and who we are and to be known this is a delightful miracle. <br /><br />Collins is really amazing.
