To be part of this amorphous group, believing love could come from any direction. So you wouldn't be disappointed if not enough came from the direction you'd hope."

A poet can read. A poet can write.
A poet is African in Africa, or Irish in Ireland, or French on the left bank of Paris, or white in Wisconsin. A poet writes in her own language. A poet writes of her own people, her own history, her own vision, her own room, her own house where she sits at her own table quietly placing one word after another word until she builds a line and a movement and an image and a meaning that somersaults all of these into the singing, the absolutely individual voice of the poet: at liberty. A poet is somebody free. A poet is someone at home."
(This sonnet was so beautiful and touching. I'm reading it for my American Women history course. Would definitely recommend y'all to look at it.)]]> 2020-02-06 13:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ostrowskim/pk3snrgq52eh/wish/441509424 From "The Unsung Hero of Birdsong, USA" koenign97 https://padlet.com/ostrowskim/pk3snrgq52eh/wish/447479389 "The first time you meet someone, it's the beginning of a brand-new, unmapped trail, so there’s no way of knowing if that path is going to be a short one, a long one, or somewhere in between, or maybe one that takes you in a circle and therefore never ends"]]> 2020-02-19 15:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ostrowskim/pk3snrgq52eh/wish/447479389 Something to think about.. https://padlet.com/ostrowskim/pk3snrgq52eh/wish/467021688 I love this!]]> 2020-03-19 21:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ostrowskim/pk3snrgq52eh/wish/467021688
