Poetry has the power to make us aware of what is hidden in the shadows...those places that we seldom see or want to see...the poet's voice scrapes away the facade of an issue and lays bare for all to see what has been denied. By providing a voice to these mute realities, poets have throughout history altered the course of events by enlightening readers and encouraging them to take action to stop wars,
halt injustice, and to reach out to their fellow man. Like those poets who have proceeded me, I am motivated
by the same desire to bring about the social changes necessary to enhance the quality of life for those
around me and around the world and to give voice to those who cannot speak for themselves

Bea In Your Bonnet: First Sting is a collection of germinal poems featuring Aunt Bea. Aunt Bea’s voice is one I’ve heard almost every day of my life. Family observations, lessons, and advice given to me and every other family member who had the good sense to listen. Her homespun philosophy most likely will not be found in any collegiate textbooks or for that matter in any local town crier newspaper catering to city dwellers. Indeed, she has a different way of viewing the world; a bit old fashion, sassy, and steely at times but a viewpoint which has engaged my imagination and heart. I sincerely hope you too will find some morsel of wisdom in her personal observations and interpretations of life’s events, but do watch out for her stingers.

Meetings are meaningless
Dreaming all day would be a very nice part of an agenda.
oh i like that…strategic plans for dreaming all day…i’m not quite sure if it’s meant ironically..but either way…made me smile
I like the thought of dreaming all day, but like Claudia I was thinking there were alternate motives for the planning meeting.
That’s what many young people have to do with with their day is dream… there are no jobs and education is so expensive that the parents would have to sell their house [if they have one] to send just one child to university. This, while there are trillions spent on wars.
Maybe they can dream about medical too cuz America ain’t got no universal medical. This, while trillions are spent on war.
(but why do guys think they look good in shorts?)
my children keep telling me they wish they were children again – I think so their staff meetings could be about their day of play
hmm… sounds like a plan! looking forward to the end of the semester (:
i just wish this was the mantra of all staff meetings!
