My Nod to Rod

Rod McKuen once said something that I have started using in my work; "I don't think you should take eight to ten syllables to say something you can say beautifully in three syllables." Part of the 8/27 3 pack.

One gives to the day
All that they can
Believe in every second
That you are doing good
And leave me wholly
To the night.

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!
