      October 14, 2023The BellbirdIsabella Slattery-Shannon

      The full moon, glowing at dusk,
      and the audacious bellbird is calling out from his tree,
      so small yet so loud.
      He calls, repeats, waits, and calls again.
      It makes me wonder how loud our songs are heard,
      and how far they spread beyond our knowing.

      from 2023 RYPA

      Isabella Slattery-Shannon (age 11)
