"Great poetry is a circus for the
brain. It's ten pounds of excitement in a nine-pound bag. But children
won't know what that means unless we offer them the best. Soon, they'll
be asking for second and third helpings. Even though few children will
become poets, poetry helps them realize that one of the most phenomenal
gifts humans get free of charge is the English language. And there is
nothing in any language more beautiful, more inspiring and
thought-provoking than poetry."
-- J. Patrick Lewis
