#poetry #ReadingMyselftoSleep #BillyCollins
This poem was included in Billy Collins‘ 1991 book (tagged). Always loved it as it was so me-since childhood have always read before sleep- my whole family did. I have such peaceful memories of my sisters & I (3to a bedroom) chatting then reading ourselves to sleep in quiet, content unison. Resurrected this slim book this Christmas week.

(If you can‘t read the poem, go to PoetryFoundation.org - it‘s all there.) #remember #poetrymatters @LazyDays

I interpreted this prompt literally - this is my current poetry collection: books of poetry, anthologies and theory.

Every book of poems by Billy Collins is a winner, and this is no exception. Particular favorites are the title poem and Nostalgia, but they are all gentle, yet funny; accessible, yet deep. In short - Billy Collins. 😀

Some of the Collins and Atwood titles on my #DecemberBookWishlist (#wishlist) that I am #ready to read. I‘d be happy to find any of these #underthetree because I #wantToLaugh at Collins‘ poetry. #survivingDecember #decktheShelves##jingleShelves ##seasonsreadings2017 #decinBooks17 @bookisglee @RealLifeReading @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @bookloo @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck @writerlibrarian

I felt like reading a few of my favorite poets tonight and thought I'd share some gems with you all. I love the imagery in this one "glass-bottom boats of heaven".
