I have seen the efflorescence of Twitter #SelfIsolation poetry readings and I asked Claude, whom I made for my children a few years ago, if he would like to contribute a performance of one of our favorites: “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll.

Today’s reading: “We Deserved Heaven,” by a 4th-grade friend of Claude

Today’s reading: “Common Cold,” by Ogden Nash

Today’s reading: a short poem from a young friend of Claude’s. It’s about a cat. It’s titled “Poor Maimed Body.”

Today’s reading: “A Light and Diplomatic Bird” by Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-2000)

Today’s reading: “The Tiger,” by Nael, age 6.
