My parents used to read Chinese poems to me and I'd recite them on the bus, shocking other riders haha. It’s an advanced poem for Stephen! :-) Beautiful poem.

I had to mute the music so I could read it over a few times; poetry is meant to be read aloud. Beautiful poem.

There's something about high art that touches aesthetically sensitive people regardless of age and knowledge. Added to which, it's infinitely preferable to Underground Ernie ;) It’s a beautiful poem, and I think it’s very telling that it appeals to Stephen so much.

Sadie's favorite poem to recite is by Shel Silverstein: Teddy said it was a hat So I put it on. Now dad is saying, "Where the heck's the toilet plunger gone? Yeah, we're raising her in a bastion of high culture :) Awww - that’s sweet.

A cool gift you're giving him to appreciate poetry. I'm impressed that he knew dwelling place! And sad that they have to learn about death. :( So awesome that you are reading this to your little guy.
