Summer dons its radiant heat

like all we have to do is sweat.

Like teaching poetry to teenagers

should be thought by all a travesty.

Today we offered recording opportunity

to show them the work it takes to perfect.

Instead, they dreamed themselves

dreamgirls and digital underground.

How do I teach them the roteness

of excellence as a habit

when their first tries are terrific

to them.

I would love some honest feedback but it seems that poeple don't have time or inclination to give it. I know part of it is that we feel that people don't want to know what their poetry is or is not doing.

I think that most young people today, really feel that the only way to express them selves is through music, and that they feel that thats the only way that they can be heard! That don't understand, that if you take away some of these artists music, that what they have to say is poetry! My daughter Kansas is trying to find out if she has what it takes to be a Poet! I tell Kansas she does. I am so proud of her. I just have to have her believe in herself as well. Now a days you really don' t have parents who support them in there dreams. Dreams can become a reality! We as parents just have to believe in them!
