makebeliever29 asked for poetry recs for an English assignment. I mentioned Gerald Locklin's No Longer a Teenager and thought it would be worth posting here, too. ( Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. )

I love writing and reading and words, marvelous words. There's so much you can do with them. Yes, this makes me an unabashed geek; there are much worse things to geek out over.
I found the following poem at Poetry 180 - A poem a day for American high schools. We'll just gloss over the fact that I graduated high school in 1995. *g*
