Poem of the Week-Laureatte Consultant

Amanda Gorman took poetry

To the stratosphere

Choreographed vocabulary

That seared with simplicity

Pausing digestions

Wrenching away partisanship

A cauldron of optimism

Her windpipe drives

A nail through hate

Syllables brought to life

Gerry rigging hope

Corralling tender troops

Emptying fear

Letting anxiety dissolve

Hailing down democracy

An American

Leading us through the labyrinth

Of freedom

Good one Gordon. You too are a poet laureate!
