- Walt Whitman, handwriting Sabrina Ward Harrison
If you don't know about SWH, you should read this post.
This got me thinking. What makes a great poem? Is it the prose, or the feeling you have while reading it. For me, it's the latter.
I've filled journals upon journals with poetry since I was a kid, and I always come back to the short ones. The ones that can capture a felling or an idea, in just a moment.
Say good-bye to the woman
we once knew
Don't need her anymore
Take her with you
- Unearthed from my journals, 1998
HERE IN THIS MOMENT
I'M GONNA VIBE WITH NO ONE ELSE
THERE IS A CONVERSATION I NEED TO HAVE WITH ME
IT'S JUST A MOMENT TO MYSELF
- MACY GRAY, "A MOMENT TO MYSELF"
What about you? What's your favorite short poem? Or better yet, write one. I'm going to choose my favorite on Friday, May 15th & send you a little something from the Caster Girls (Sorry, we don't have any Beautiful Creatures ARCs.)
