My first introduction to poetry in the 6th grade.

Old Man of the Sea There was an old man of the sea who fought with a tiny bee They put up a fight Until it turned night He soon had to flee For the bump on his knee He has lost his fight soon making a flight As he returned to the sea Carolee Dennis-Woosley 1967 Our instructer gave us "Old man of the Sea" to practice for our first limerick I will never forget this. Do any others have such memories?

When I was a young girl we were encouraged to read all the great poets, our teacher often read to us in class. We girls enjoyed it, but the boys seemed bored!

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
