Poem Path
by Amy LV
Students - I do collect poems and do sometimes feel like they are spilling out from my pockets and onto the earth. But you know what, I still always wish to learn and collect more. Poems are my way of understanding the world - both reading poems and writing poems helps me make sense of life on both the dark and the very sunny days. Poems are both song and like medicine to me.
Today's poem is a free verse poem, not following any special rhyme scheme or meter. Yet still, I read the poem many times out loud to listen to the pauses and rhythms and repetition.

As I learn more about using digital technologies to share and publish writing, I hope that you will occasionally hold my hand on the journey. Today I truly am collecting poems...favorite poems of favorite people. Please visit my Padlet and leave a note with your name, telling about, and maybe even linking to, one of your own favorite poems. We all become wiser through sharing, and I feel fortunate to share with you.
Please be sure to include your own name if you leave a poem on the Padlet. Only with a name will I approve the note.
