You, Poetry!

…in gratitude for a poem from a poet who brings a gift to MAN

The work begins
with words spoken
for all people
healing broken

hates plus lovings
times politics
dividing hymns,
arithmetics.

She wrote, she parsed,
she studied well.
Delivered hope:
Liberty Belle.

Anointed life,
and clue acclaim!
“Man” lives within
her very name!

NOTE: Yes, all people! LOOK AT THIS POET’S NAME! It contains two of them — the word MAN. For huMANity, Amanda Gorman, has every word we all need and want right now: MAN on the left. Man on the right. Poet in the middle.

Thank you, dear poet Amanda Gorman, and thank you with love to all your ancestors who brought you to us today, Inauguration Day, 2021.
