Camp Letter #15

Correspondence with my granddaughter at sleep-away camp

I wrote letters every day while my granddaughter was in sleep-away camp for the first time when she was eight years old. I was reading the wonderful book This Is A Poem That Heals Fish by poet Jean-Pierre Siméon (full details in the Table of Contents).

Here’s Camp Letters #15

Arthur needs to talk with Leon, his fish, but Leon is asleep. Arthur has all the answers he could get from all the folks he loves. So, in my next letter, Arthur wakes Leon up and tells him all he knows about what a poem could be: See Camp Letter #16 for the answer to the question, “What is a poem?”

Note: My granddaughter calls me Savta; thus the “Love, Savta” at the close.
