I visited a class of second graders to teach them about poetry, and this is a poem one student wrote.
What is Life?
My name is Marisa.
Today I feel like a wealthy lioness prancing in the fields.
Sometimes I am a fox.
Sometimes I am a wolf.
But always I am loyal.
I ask the world, "What is life?"
And the answer is
a wealthy lioness prancing in the fields.
@OKWildlifeDept I had no idea. Is there a way…what if I want…can I go back in time and unsee this? Who knew three letters could conjure small toothed aquatic demons from my nightmares on my computer screen? And they’re REAL.
Avoided reading ‘Turtles All the Way Down’ for years because I was afraid I would learn I didn’t actually have OCD from reading it (med pros tell me I do, but how can they KNOW??).
I finally read it and LOVED it. And I definitely have OCD. Probably.
Go read this good book 📕
