I read this poem on the last day of spring when "soft green bones" were all about and I was delighted by it.
Rebecca, this is so lovely, and reminds me right away of my granddaughter, Laurel. She's 11 and is on the cusp of being a different child, but your image of the girl who "stands steaming/kicking her hooves" will stay with me, and will always be Laurel. And the phrase, "Soft green bones." Thank you for sharing this will all ov us.
