Poetry in Motion

Last night I went to a Toastmasters meeting. It is one of the things I do for myself. It helps me grow professionally, and it is a place to network and fellowship with like-minded people. Bill Diskin, Poet Laureat of York, spoke of the joys of writing or reading poetry and asked us to make time to enjoy some poetry. Long story short, I did. Check out Bill's blog on poetry http://yorkwrites.blogspot.com/.

Speaking of poetry, I received a poem from a son of a streetsmart mom. I wanted to share it with you.

By Brandon Leshchinskiy


Street smart moms,
They are the best,
Join us -
You’ll have a blast

Street smart moms,

Can dream and dream,
Join the club –
Become a money machine!

Street smart moms,
They do not fuss
Neither will you
If you join us!

Milana was sharing my thoughts, and what I was planning and this is what he created. Pretty cool. Brandon is clearly a streetsmart kid. Thank you Brandon.
