Poetry Friday: Round is a Tortilla, a Book of Shapes

Here's a beautiful suggestion for Poetry Friday: Round is a Tortilla, A Book of Shapes by Roseanne Greenfield Thong, illustrated by John Parra. Watch for the release March 19th.

Round are sombreros.
     Round is the moon.
Round are the trumpets
     that blare out a tune.

Round are campanas
     that chime and ring.
Round are the nests
     where swallows sing.

Such lovely poetry and paintings. Happy Poetry Friday!
