Thoughts for This Day, A Friday

I've gotten into the habit of listening to The Writer's Almanac again. I love it. I really love Garrison Keillor's voice. It's helped me come to a very important decision in my life. If I ever have a son, I'm naming him Garrison. I have never found a guys name I liked before. Girls names, no problem. Boys, problem. But Garrison Keillor has really helped me sort all this out. Thanks Garrison.

LOL. Okay, back to being serious. I have actually discovered that I like William Wordsworth as a poet. Though, I do have a problem with any poet who's name starts with "W" (thank you Walt Whitman).

Do you have a favorite poet? We always focus more on prose in class, so I don't know who anyone else likes as a poet. C'mon Creative Writing students! Breathe some life back into this old blog. Comment (you know you want to): tell us your favorite poet.
