“I haven't written poetry in a long time but I read it and I miss it. It is so hard to write. So hard to finish, so hard to find the exact word to make it shine. In honor of my youth I will write a poem to finish this essay. It is spring in the Ozark Mountains. The yellow flowers are blooming and the birds wake me at dawn and last night five planets lined up by the moon in the western sky. If that doesn't inspire me to poetry what will?” IfsWritingLongHardLastsNightFiveWrittenSkyMissingHavensYouthInspirePlanetsFlowerHonorMoonMountainLong TimeSpringBirdShiningWesternDawnYellowEssaysLast NightBloomingOzarksYellow FlowerWestern Sky Author:Ellen Gilchrist
