Week 1: Introduction

                                                        

-Good poetry comes from the heart weaved within the soul of the writer. It brings the reader into the depths of the writers world. Poetry is more than just words, imagery, sound, or symbolism. It is a contemporary element of art that moves us.

-A good work of art comes from experience. It is controversial and has a premise from the artist. Great work of art dose not come from visuals, but context.

               Frida Kahlo, 1945

                                                          

Weaving into the world,

I sew my skin through a mattress.

The sun whispered goodnight.

I slept with the doors opened,

while watching a sky rotate,

listening to a dancing waterfall,

as the moon greeted good morning.

Force feeding myself,

rejections of yesterday and tomorrow.

Nailed over a short ladder,

that leads to here.

There are no walls,

In the bottom grounds,

of the Grand Canyon.
