“Oh,
I smell
spring!”
she cried as she danced along the brook path.
Then she began to compose a poem on it.
Everybody who has ever lived in the world and could string two rhymes together has written a poem on spring. It is the most be-rhymed subject in the world—and always will be, because it is poetry incarnate itself.
You can never be a real poet if you haven’t made at least one poem about spring.”
– Emily of New Moon –
