Written in 1972, Five Songs on Childrens Poems are settings of texts drawn from a collection entitled The Wind is an Invisible Butterfly, compiled and published by the Kentucky Arts Commission (KAC) in 1972. It represents a collection of poems written by students who participated in the Poets in the Schools program sponsored by the KAC through the states public schools from 1971-72. In five movements, Rhodes explores both poignant and humorous poetry written by five different students.
