I remember your "Horseback Riding" poem from"Can I Touch Your Hair" –a heartfelt tender poem coming before the two characters begin to connect.<br /><br />I stopped by the illustrator links for your next books–beautiful work by both and very different, I look forward to reading them. Thanks for all Irene!Michelle Koganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02575814872372518994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-2123468033273763282018-05-19T18:07:04.957-05:002018-05-19T18:07:04.957-05:00All of your horse poems are lovely.

Since her mean parents wouldn't buy her a horse, we took her to volunteer at a therapeutic riding center. She started by grooming and saddling the horses to get them ready for their lesson (she was too young to volunteer with the riders) and shoveling the stalls. She loved all of it.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210045352610490115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-38618426891872874462018-05-19T13:19:53.830-05:002018-05-19T13:19:53.830-05:00Thank you for sharing about this book.

My daughter's college has an equestrian team and we like to visit the horses when we are there. So much beauty in the haiku and the illustrations and the horse-love.Linda Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833034575304594924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-73324491832586484312018-05-18T15:56:11.988-05:002018-05-18T15:56:11.988-05:00Oh my goodness, how did I miss that Michael Rosen ...Oh my goodness, how did I miss that Michael Rosen was coming out with another animal haiku book? I love his Maine Coon and Hound Dog books, and from what I see here, I know I'll love his horse haiku as well. Horseback Riding is one of my favorites from Can I Touch Your Hair. <br /><br />I'm with you on the son going off to college thing, Irene! No idea where all those years went. xoMichelle Heidenrich Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02051827857519159837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-51848421141667299712018-05-18T15:01:39.821-05:002018-05-18T15:01:39.821-05:00I love horses, too!

Yes, time flies. I have the Rosen book on my list, and now you've made me want to have it NOW. I love those lip quivers, too, rode much of my life and those memories are special. I love the poem you wrote as a young girl, Irene, already a wonderful poet! Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
