Here's one more fun poem from Clara's Kooky Compendium of Thimblethoughts and Wonderfuzz-- out now. This poem is "Behind the Hidden Door" by Darren Sardelli and it's full of strong imagery and has a great surprise ending.
Here's a silly video I created for sharing the poem. Enjoy!
And here is the page from the book featuring the poem, plus the fun Thimblethought, Wonderfuzz, and skill connection for this poem.
