words for thought....

BOTTOM LINERS BEWARE:
there's another
set
of
books



A
linkage of lessons
and final exams

that some seem
to view as
unsupervised recess



IS THERE ROOM FOR YOU,
you ask-
there is more than room;
the need to spill
with purpose,
streams of tender
ribboning
time



Today I was working in the day program that I supervise and this book of poems was sitting on the table. I never have been into poetry, mostly because I haven't become comfortable enough with the English language to explore it by writing poems. These poems were taken from The Distant Siren, by James DePreist. He is a famous conductor who currently serves as director for the Oregon Symphony.

I just chose a few of my favorite poems from the book to share. I like poems.
