“This manuscript...is...precious... Don't consider it rejected. Consider...you've addressed it 'to the editor who can appreciate my work' & it has simply come back stamped 'Not at this address'. Just keep looking for the right address.”

I know a banke where the wilde thyme blowes,
Where Oxslips and the nodding Violet growes,
Quite over-cannoped with luscious woodbine,
With sweet muske #roses, and with Eglantine:

When did the world grow so quiet?
Thoughts that will not go away.
Maybe if everyone grew silent,
Then they would hear their own name.
Everyone's running and thriving,
Each in their own small world.
While I'm still walking, still breathing—
At my own pace, I carry on.
Caught in their own little places.
Lost in their thoughts of grandeur.
I think I'm walking in circles.
I can't catch up to their greed.
Feels like they're too dedicated
To something that tears them apart.
Maybe it's me that's the problem—
Maybe I need to grow up.
Federal funding for libraries supports hundreds of programs that help America's teens get ahead.
Trump's proposed budget guts that funding.

Poetry is for Everyone
I believe the world is beautiful
and that poetry, like bread, is for everyone.
