Hi everyone! This blog is for another assignment for Humanities class. We read a book called Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now by Maya Angelou. I decided to cretae a "found poem" from the text. So here it goes!!
From the valley of strange humors to the country to no return,
many desperately seek to know all answers.
Some are in dry silence or in a great deal of laughter.
Life is pure adventure, treat it as art,
And remember your own shortcomings.
That's what I came up with! :) It doesn't entirely makes sense, but remember: I just found it. That's why it's called a found poem. hehe! Anyways, I also absolutely loved this quote from the text:
"They are a love of life and ability to take a great pleasure from small offerings, an assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift."
That quote is deep. It may take a while to like decode it and truly understand what it means. For me, I think this quote means to always appreciate what you have or what you get because you never know what will happen in the future. Right? Kaa, so I guess I'm done. ttyl!

Ello! (:
Your found poem was also deep (: I love random stuff that happens to make sense x)
Yes that quote is deep. A gift is a gift. That's like saying a tiger isn't a dragon. Or something. xD That was from Queste. I'm not sure about the tiger though. :p
