Janis Latimore

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe—
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!"

Said Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.

—from Wynken, Blynken and Nod, by Eugene Field

My heart is breaking, I just discovered a story shared by a 14 year old girl who connected with my poem at
@FamFriendPoems
I wrote it for men's mental health week, never imagining it would speak to the young. Silly me! Write your words wisely, for you never know where they go ... #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #childrenspoetry #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters

And here’s the first words of Sophie’s to be published, from the same year.
