Ella's prompt today at the Thursday Think Tank is to write a poem based on a quote that we like. I have collected quotes for decades, and one of my favorites is "A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song." Online sources attribute this quote to Maya Angelou, as well as listing it as an old Chinese proverb. I dont know which is correct.
Sometimes
the body
is not large enough
to contain
the joy of
being alive -
and then,
they call it
Song.
