A Poem for You on Random Acts of Poetry Day
Tell me a poem, a story
of a favored poet or poem,
one that changed your life,
your mind, opened up
possibilities, or made you
feel secure as your anchors,
your moorings, were removed.
Speak to me of your need;
describe the expectations
(are they great ones?), explain
how we soar together, toward
the sun, if not the moon,
tell me how I become
part of your larger self.
—Glynn Young
"Tell me a poem" is from the book Poetry at Work
