Starting a Study
Sitting in my study
Book in hand
Number the Stars
by Lois Lowry
Newberry Medal winner
she reads to me
about a Danish family
hiding a Jewish girl
from the Nazis
I’ll finish this book
she says
It’s an important book
Not even 12
though she knows
she must start
her lifelong study
of just how hateful
the world can be

This poem is a testimony to the power of words in many ways
Love the title.
The way we see study as a noun and a verb is, I was going to say subtle but that’s not right.
Professional light repetion
that hits.
Yes,” testimony ” is probably best.
Very straightforward story that tells one of the most important lessons people learn. Good stuff!
Well written and chilling!
a heartbreak of a poem, I love the snapshot you give
Just rolls along to a heart-breaking ending. Very well done, Lee.
Powerful and sad at the same time!
important book
important message
and a very important reader
