Write now I'm participating in the Writer's Digest poem a day challenge--30 poems in 30 days for April, also know as Poetry Month. So here's my entry for today that I'd like to share. The prompt is "The problem with..."

impractical, imperfect...Imperative
inconceivable, inspiring...Indomitable
difficult, different...Dynamic
freaky, fearless...Fundamental

"The courage to love truth is one of the preconditions to thinking critically."

"When you place a high value on truth, you have to think for yourself."

For 2009 --- Dance

Dance, when you're broken open
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off
Dance, in the middle of the fighting
Dance, in your blood
Dance, when you're perfectly free
