Poet on Poet Walk

I visited the Poet’s Walk and what a joy it was for me last Tuesday.

14 students with a counselor from an Academy here in Hillsborough came strolling  down the walk and with permission I talked with them about the challenge of growing up and read them my poem Growth. We shared about that greatness and the special talents that we were all given and the joy that comes when we find ways to put that talent to work for all humankind, possibly making this a better world. They were so kind and so attentive that I felt as if I was talking to each one of them individually.  It was so special for me.  But that is the way it always seems for me on Poet’s Walk. I have very exciting visits with remarkable people who I’m certain have a special greatness in them.
