It Started With

Such whimsical stories, with a moral, they were sure to teach me right from wrong. All done to a cadence like a song, there's no better way to learn than humoral. I learned how to cope and not quarrel, to stand by my beliefs and be strong, don't be swayed by one or a throng. After I read one, I went on to read several. Dr. Seuss was my fisrst poet read, The very first rhyme I ever heard, were there in his stories, while in my bed. While Grandma helped with the hard words, he introduced me to poetical threads. I was forever inspired, rest assured. For the contest: Tribute By Sonnet Sponsored by Francine Roberts My poet of inspiration....Dr. Seuss
