This could be _Love Letters_ by Arnold Adoff, a wonderful collection of love letters and poems illustrated by Lisa Desimini.

And, I'm so glad _All the Small Poems_ has been mentioned. Valerie Worth can really capture the essence of her subjects in just a few words. The illustrations by Natalie Babbitt fit perfectly too. I love this one kaleidoscope

Only a litter Of bright bits, Tipped and tumbled Over each other Until they huddle Untidily all In one corner,

Where their Reflections wake And break into Crystals, petals, Stars: only The tricks of Mirrors, but

Still miracles, Like snowflakes Shaken from jumbled Clouds, or earth's Rough muddle Jostled to Jewels and flowers.
