In honor of poetry Friday, my update for the new book project MTLB.
Searching for the boy
I find him
not running
not hiding
but standing
up
for someone who is
not him
for someone who is
like him
for someone who
doesn’t know
how
to stand up for himself.
Not recognizing
their very sameness
he fights
for what
he
doesn’t want
to be.
I want to read this book!
Laurie
Thank you. I want to finish writing it so you CAN read it. 🙂
Good! We’re in agreement.
Ooh, nice. I just did my own Poetry Friday post. Who knew it would catch on as a movement?
It’s everywhere
Did you see Jen Robinson’s Poetry Friday post?

Re: It’s everywhere
Evidently, it IS everywhere. And here I thought I was being original. Still, poetry is a good thing.
oooh, nice!
Thanks. Weird how when the comments are mailed to me it loses the formatting. Oh well. As long as it looks right on the screen when it’s read the first time.
It looks fine on-screen… no worries.
Oh my hell, that’s the book flap right there! How could anyone NOT want to know more??
