She often personifies things in nature, how they behave, how they hold meaning to her. Cannon’s writing is melodic and soothing, like a cup of tea with your favorite relative would be. This book reminds me of my aunt and her little kitchen with cute chair cushions and the nice decorations. I could see how lovely this book would be if read on a vacation in the countryside. I feel like I should be reading this book of poetry while sitting outside and breathing in morning air. Sherrill Cannon’s poetry is beautiful, in the way that your grandmother’s voice sounded as she brushed your hair. Married for 57 years, she and her spouse are now retired, live in Pennsylvania, and travel in their RV from coast to coast, spending time with their children and grandchildren. Most of her children’s books try to teach something, such as good manners and caring for others. She is also a playwright with seven published plays for elementary school children, and her works have been performed internationally in over 20 countries. Cannon, a former teacher and grandmother of ten, is the author of nine acclaimed rhymed children’s stories that have received 48 national and international book awards between 20. The variety of lyrical poetry forms includes free verse, blank verse, haiku, and sonnets. There are three sections in her book: Heads, Spinning, and Tails. “As a teacher, I used poetry to help counsel many troubled teens and friends, and have continued this pattern throughout the years.” Cannon now shares her thoughts in this book of feelings. Have you ever loved, been loved, been confused about love, or suffered from loss of love? All these feelings have been captured and shared in the word of heartfelt poems, compiled over many years by a retired teacher and award-winning author.
