This is my religion

Posted in Life, Prayer, Religion by uuMomma on March 31st, 2008

A quote from Maya Angelou, on a sympathy card:

We are living art,
created
to help others
to hang on,
stand up,
forbear, continue.

Here’s to continuing.

    Very appropriate since April is national poetry month. Angelou is one of my favorite poets. I just learned she will be 80 years old on April 4th.

    For you, Veronica, I tried my hand at a poem this morning.

    Yes I saw your poem. Thank you for giving it a go; another great way to celebrate national poetry month is writing poetry.

    I happen to be a poetry editor for a mom magazine - http://www.momwriterslitmag.com . Being a mom and a writer, you fit the submission guidelines. ;)

    Thanks for the tip! I keep trying poetry on, but it feels like the straw hat I bought for myself one summer that now resides in the hall closet. Still and all, it doesn’t keep me from dusting it off once a year.
