Escaping Bonn
Sometimes a boy, a girl,
with too much imagination
or too much despair,
looks for an escape,
a bolt hole, digs a tunnel,
finds a dot, an opening,
a moment in time.
Takes it, shapes it,
big enough for one,
too small for another.
There is an odd safety in retreat.

A miracle to manage.
It is not how you get out that matters.
It is what you do next.

I've often thought that there's nothing Jane Yolen
cannot write wonderfully about, including, I am sure, topics I've never
even imagined writing about. Some of them, no doubt, appearing in her
nearly 400 published books (!!!!!). I consider myself so lucky that she
said yes to joining us here at 30 Poets/30 Days again, and I hope y'all
skedaddle off to her website to see the incredible titles she has out
there for you.
