The Poetic Riddle

Emma (8), as I've told you before, is a voracious reader. So my mom got her two poetry books for Christmas. They were specifically catered to young people. One was by Robert Frost and the other by Emily Dickinson. Emma spent the better part of the day reading one book and then the other.

"How did you like those books?" I asked when she finished reading.

"I hate poetry," Emma said decidedly. "It's like a riddle with no clues."
