What will YOUR verse be?

Good day scholars. Today you are going to write about the idea within this quote and what are your life goals? What will your verse be? (You may even discuss a poem you really enjoy and how it helps bring more meaning to your life.)You may even write in prose.

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, ‘O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?’ Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”

Enjoy life!

OK Old Timers . . .AKA sophs, jrs and seniors

It has come to my attention that some of you feel maligned by the idea that I am doing a blog with my current freshmen and I didn't do it with you. Sorry, one never knows when great ideas will strike! So a suggestion has been made-to allow oldies to post to the blog. My worry is that your talent will overshadow and silence my newbies (ahem). So another idea was suggestioned-make a blog for the old timers! Brilliant! Thank you Jared! So, let's give it a try. Remember to have fun but no slicing and dicing of people's feelings-especially when it gets religious and political (ahem!). This should be a safe fun place to write and be with other writers and thinkers.

I will post questions-sometimes they will be the same questions as the newbies get, othertimes they may different. This week I will post the same question (you are gonna LOVE it!), but feel free to go back in time and respond to old newbie questions as well. Have fun!!!!

The question is (drum roll please) . . . if you could have any special super power what would it be and why? What would you do with this power (a little antecdote would be fun, that means a little story showing what you would do)? Would you use to help the world or just yourself? Would you be a bad guy and abuse your power?

This is a work in progress-so bear with me. Also please sign your name so we all know who you are . . . :-)
Enjoy and peace (stealing that from Christian aka a newbie),

Ms. Gaboury
