Writing poems:
-
makes it possible to retrieve
and hold onto memories,
slippery as rabbits
-
allows us to illuminate the
ordinary
-
underscores everyday speech
with music
-
helps us order our experiences
-
reminds us of how we are alike, not other
-
teaches us to economize words, not feelings
-
celebrates the power of language.
Reading
poems:
liberates and informs.
