I've been away from Freda's meme for quite a long time.  But on this Saturday after the tragic events in Newtown, Connecticut I offer up this poem by the very talented poet Yusef Komanyakka--a professor of English at New York University.

"Rock Me, Mercy"

Click on the link to hear the poem read in its entirety by Professor Komanyakka.

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
