chopping meditation inspired by jill scott
January 7, 2008
take a thought
slice so fine you know
the taste by the smell
this sep
ar ate
ness is what makes
it good
so chop off one end
peel leaves down
& dice
each funky thought
lengthwise
crossways
down this side
the other / from
one corner 2 the next
don’t 4get
2 exhale

This is magnificent! Until recently I didn’t ‘get’ poetry, but this really speaks to me – this is the sort of poetry we should be teaching in schools.
wow, thank you so much. as a teacher that means so much. so glad that the work reached you!!
