Native American Poetry

April is National Poetry Month. In honor that the month here are some Native American poems from the book The Trees Stands Still.

You, whose day it is,
Make it beautiful.
Get out your rainbow colors.
So it will be beautiful.
Nootka

I wonder if everyone is up.
It is morning.
We are live, so thanks be.
Rise up! Look about!
Go see the horses!

Nez Perce
