A Poetic Goal:

I write the world.

I write about

me

my freckles

Dad's bad back.

I write about

Grandma dying.

I write to find out

waht makes freckles

where the sun goes at night

how birds fly without falling

I wrie to find out

where Grandmas is now.

I write to make change

to stop bullying

to keep cats inside

to clean up the rivers

ta ask why--

there was no hospital bed for grandma.

I right the world.

-- Lorrain Wilson^[1]

I write the world

I write about

me

my curly hair

Grandkid's growing up

I write about

Jake's crash.

I write to find out

what makes curly hair

why the weather changes so

how we change energy to save the world

I write about

why Jake still hurts.

I write to make change

to work together, everyone

to respect and encourage individual talents

to progress in a green world

to asky why--

Jake and others can't get medical treatment.

I right the world.

-- Sheri Edwards
