POET OF THE WEEK
Phillip Smith
Week of November 13
Oh raging water
Tell me, why so angry?
Three small children in Thailand
sleep alone on the street
while happy men in America
count money in their sleep
Oh raging water
Tell me, why so angry?
This injustice between lands
is it all you see?

FAVORITE LINE OF POETRY Charles Bukowski: “We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us.”
WRITING LIKE WATER Calm and quiet, but vast.
TAP WATER MEMORY Using the kitchen faucet for a water balloon fight. The sink was covered in different colored balloons.
