Peace and Rain
The raindrops fall
on all that is quiet.
A soft wind blows
a tear off your face.
The cents of a penny
is less than your love.
A good night.
—from 2015 Rattle Young Poets Anthology

Zoey Sheffield: “I like to write poetry because it’s beautiful and graceful and soothing. I love reading it, too. And I love getting ideas from my dad.”
