ooh there's also a poem from Anne Sexton that I just remembered but can't recall the name (lol this is turning into such a long comment/reply!) and the first few lines go:
We are America. / We are the coffin fillers. / We are the grocers of death. / We pack them in crates like cauliflowers.
anyways I love that one and most of her other work haha. what are your favorites & have you read any of mine??
ooh I haven't read that one but I love Jabberwocky and Carroll's other famous one, The Hunting of the Snark. I'm working my way through the new Century of Poetry in the New Yorker right now, so I'll get back to you on favorite ones from that lol! I also love Lucille Clifton - my favorite one from her is my dream about the cows - Mary Oliver (Wild Geese or Peonies) and Anne Sexton (In Celebration of my Uterus or The Truth the Dead Know). sry that was a lot but I rly love poetry haha!!!
my school's pretty much the same as bumblebea's - we've been warned against using it and all ai sites are blocked on our school chromebooks, so most people don't use it, but a few of our teachers have encouraged using it for brainstorming or rough outlines. I don't think using ai is necessarily bad, but I don't think anyone should use it to cheat at anything, including schoolwork.
oh cool!! when i was in like third grade i wrote three letters to my superintendent (backed by my teacher!) about getting days off for a jewish holiday; sadly he never responded, but lately ive wanted to send letters to my senators/congresspeople. hopefully yours goes better haha!!
Absolutely beautiful, I thoroughly enjoyed this. As an artist (dancer, photographer, flutist and writer), I have an insatiable need to create. Consuming other creations is like appreciating little bits of someone's soul that they try to convey through words, which I love. It's what's needed to drive that creativity and to provide calmness in the rigor of creativity. It's not easy to write. On that note, you have a way words, you write very maturely and powerfully
this is a really horrifying and awful subject, but you did a truly excellent job with this letter. is this really a letter you sent to your congressman? (either way its rlly good :D)
