BEST POETS

BY ANDRÉANNE DESCHENES  


In my class we have lots of poetry books by Jack Prelutsky, Douglas Florian, Shel Silverstein, Dennis Lee, Emily Dickinson, etc. But the best ones in my opinion are Douglas Florian, Aileen Fisher, and Margaret Hillert. My favourite poems written by these three poets are:
Night Snow by Margaret Hillert
Dream by Aileen Fisher and
Babyface by Douglas Florian

Here is Night Snow-

Night Snow
by Margaret Hillert
Whitely, lightly, brightly,
Softly without sound,
Whirling, twirling, curling
Like feathers to the ground,
Blowing, glowing, growing
Higher flake by flake
Piling up surprises
For the morning when I wake.
