A poet's autobiography is his poetry. Anything else is just a footnote.
Yevgeny Yevtushenko

A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.
W. H. Auden


I remember.
I remember,
That tree that sheltered me,
It held me close and warm on that old September.
I remember.
I remember.

I remember.
I remember,
That book dared me.
It took me place I thought I’d never see.
I remember.
I remember.

I remember.
I remember,
That building stood tall.
It let me choose my path,
And it never would fall.
I remember.
I remember.


I remember.
I remember,
That pen and paper telling me,
You are more than what people see.
I remember.
I remember.

I remember,
And I live those memories.
I remember.
