AN ODE TO OUR NATION’S YOUNG POET LAUREATE

 Even now

Two days later

I continue to feel

Both inspired and

Awestruck by

The lovely sight of

Youthful insight

Emanating from within

An exquisite sense of

Beauty proving

So naturally

Emergent from

Every delicate pore of

Amanda Gorman’s being

As had been precisely

Conveyed throughout

Our youthful

Poet Laureate’s

Profoundly talented

Patriotic recitation of

Hope laced with love of

Country, as in

The rainbow’s

Appearance after

The storm, the memory

Of which literally

Continues to hold me

Spellbound, today.

Thank you to my dear friend, Freddie Lieberman, for being the muse whose simple question inspired my spirit to confer with my mind so that both colored in my heartfelt ‘rainbow’ reaction to Amanda Gorman by way of releasing a string of words dedicated to honoring the prodigious talents of our precocious  22 year old poet laureate, which will enrich the ear our nation’s soul beyond compare for many a year.

🙋🏻‍♀️🇺🇸Annie
