Poetry is meant to appreciated, not graded.walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867026966106265995.post-92114398862057759962013-06-08T19:56:50.059-04:002013-06-08T19:56:50.059-04:00It sounds to me like your mom was changing your th...It sounds to me like your mom was changing your thoughts through that song!walkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046468024103932112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867026966106265995.post-77238985827067676742013-06-06T23:18:09.279-04:002013-06-06T23:18:09.279-04:00I went back and added an article I've been rum...I went back and added an article I've been ruminating on all day.
