Every language has its beauty
In history, in story, and song.
Every culture enriches the world
In which we all belong.
from No (More) Forbidden Languages Venette Cook
Poetry can open doors between us. Poetry can open doors between our hearts and our minds, between our cultures. You do not need to wait to be fluent in English. Enjoy poems every day and express yourself in every way.
These poems are dedicated to my beautiful students and my beautiful teachers, past, present, and future all over our beautiful world.
