“Golden English: Lesson one”

Under: Poetry, Random Thoughts, Uncategorized, What I Love @ 10:06 pm on Tuesday, 06.16.09

“Make declarative sentences from these words,” declares Mr. Golden

1. contains a universe
2. sand, concrete, horizon
3. I dream
4. blue, clear

My brain contains a universe
I dream in Spanish of white sand beaches
The ground I walk on is hard concrete
but between the tall buildings, on a clear day,
I can still the blue horizon.

“Maria, you are a poet,” declares Mr. Golden

~Judith Ortiz Cofer
