Who said that only advanced students could read poetry?
Read this poem by English writer Benjamin Zephaniah:
Who's who? (from Talking Turkeys)
I used to think nurses Were women,
I used to think police
Were men,
I used to think poets
Were boring,
Until I became one of them.
Do you know that this talented man had dyslexia, so he couldn't learn to read and write while he was at school? A really inspiring story.

Lovely poem! I didn't know him, but after reading about him and his works, i think I'll go find some of his books, especially 'Talking Turkeys'!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Illya! Beautiful poem, and beautiful blog as well. I was caught by the name of the blog and I can see the blog matches very well with it.
