I am hoping to have a poem for this prompt by the end of today. I've been absent from her since my last prompt on Sunday. I am hoping to catch up periodically reading everyone's delicious poems from the month that I have missed. <br><br>"A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep." ~ Salman Rushdie<br>Morgan Dragonwillowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147836851533669779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4992984897639825337.post-13541755954988441592013-10-30T13:10:21.705-04:002013-10-30T13:10:21.705-04:00Julie, i love this. *a poem begins with a lump in ...Julie, i love this. *a poem begins with a lump in the throat*... such truth to this. We could say this about most of the arts... *a painting often begins with a lump in the throat*. A story. A dance. A song.
