  3. Prayer With malice toward none, With charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations. - Abraham Lincoln Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865

  8. Why Poetry? “We all have an inner need to live more deeply and fully and with greater awareness, to know the experience of others, and to understand our own experience better.” Sound and Sense

  9. What poetry does that prose doesn’t: • Concentrates lots of meaning into small area • “Unlimited cosmic power, itty bitty living space” • Focuses on sound and rhythm as well as meaning • Gives experiential knowledge rather than practical knowledge

  10. SUMMER Walter Dean Myers I like hot days, hot days Sweat is what you got days Bugs buzzin from cousin to cousin Juices dripping Running and ripping Catch the one you love days Birds peeping Old men sleeping Lazy days, daisies lay Beaming and dreaming Of hot days, hot days, Sweat is what you got days
