They tell me you are wicked and I believe them (Sandburg)
Did you want to see me broken? (Angelou)
The bright suns I see and the dark suns I cannot see are in their place (Whitman)
Just like moons and like suns (Angelou)

 
I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise (Whitman)
I do not know which to prefer (Stevens)
Building, breaking, rebuilding (Sandburg)
A learner with the simplest, a teacher of the thoughtfullest (Whitman)

 
Coarse and strong and cunning (Sandburg)
I resist any thing better than my own diversity (Whitman)
Fear pierced him (Stevens)
But still, like dust, I'll rise (Angelou)
In what I know (Stevens)

And then you add the Stevens move to Angelou in the 3rd stanza. That is just wonderful splicing--such a cool idea to ponder: how do we rise inside what we already know? ]]> 2023-01-26 15:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jglightsey131/wjf3dipdu7jzs6rm/wish/2457810299 Dale Tate rdtatejr https://padlet.com/jglightsey131/wjf3dipdu7jzs6rm/wish/2459455325 Nice work, Jake! I think it's interesting that you and I chose many of the same lines and yet the tone of the output is completely different. Yours is pretty hopeful and mine is pretty bleak. I'm not sure what that means really, but it's interesting.]]> 2023-01-27 20:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jglightsey131/wjf3dipdu7jzs6rm/wish/2459455325 Peer Response ananeprince618 https://padlet.com/jglightsey131/wjf3dipdu7jzs6rm/wish/2459524535 Hey Jake, this is a great piece you've put together. I literally just opened your padlet and after reading I'm flabbergasted that we had a couple of lines that are the same. Nice work.]]> 2023-01-27 22:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jglightsey131/wjf3dipdu7jzs6rm/wish/2459524535
