Yesterday, I double-checked what all I needed to submit for my portfolio, and of course, I missed or overlooked that I needed to submit ten poems that I liked and the reasons why I liked them. Oh lord. This was separate from the ten poems that I wrote. I think reading “ten” blurred in my mind.
I found ten and I typed, copied and pasted all over the damn place. The whole thing ended up being 50 pages. Thank goodness we were submitting online.
Still, the last couple of days I have been able to sit down and read. I am 200 pages in on this book – feels so good to read.
Here is one of my all-time favorite poems; you can listen to Maya Angelou recite it below as well. I could truly listen to her voice all day.
May your hearts be full all day.
Maya Angelou
Phenomenal Woman
