“ In school, I hated poetry - those skinny,Malnourished poems that professors love;The bad grammar and dirty words that catchIn the mouth like fishhooks, tear holes in speech.Pablo, your words are rain… George Elliott Clarke
“ The moon twangs its silver strings;The river swoons into town;The wind beds down in the pines,Covers itself with stars. George Elliott Clarke
“ A rural Venus, Selah rises from thegold foliage of the Sixhiboux River, sweepspetals of water from her skin. At once,clouds begin to sob for such beauty.Clothing drops like leaves."No one makes poetry… George Elliott Clarke
