Spring Break Post!

Hey there from... oh, Grand Haven. Yes, I have been home all spring break, but later today I'm going to Detroit so I thought it would be best to finish my PATH homework before we go. So, this week I've been reading stuff that I'm required to read for test-out. Also I've been reading poetry. A lot of poetry. Poems from poets.org and other online sources, test-out poetry and even some of my old poems. I signed up for the Poem-A-Day thing, but all the poems I've gotten so far I'm not a huge fan of, but I could warm up to them eventually. I do like the concept a lot, though. I like logging into my Gmail and seeing a poem to read. It takes all the work out of finding poems. Speaking of finding poems, I have found some favorites on poets.org. My favorites so far are: What Do I Care by Sara Teasdale, True Love by Robert Penn Warren, To Dorothy by Marvin Bell, I Am Not Yours by Sara Teasdale, Dreams by Langston Hughes, Caboose Thoughts by Carl Sandburg, As I Walked Out One Evening by W.H. Auden, Answer To a Child's Question by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, A lane of Yellow lead the eye (1650) by Emily Dickinson, and A Drinking Song by W.B. Yeats.
