Instructions for Helping the World is my favorite poem of 2012. I know. I know. The new year has just begun! But still. It’s an awesome poem. It’s written by Greg Pincus, a kid’s lit blogger who is as prolific as he is talented.
Instructions for Helping the World is short (only 10 lines), but it packs a serious punch and should be required reading for all those “Back to The Three R” types out there.
Thanks Greg … I would add that help might also come in the form of a warm bed, enough to eat, clean water and love but that’ll keep for another poem.
