This is why it is important to vote your entire ballot in every election! Your state governor and legislature make a big difference in your life. Even your town's mayor and city council (or local equivalent), your school board and library board, your local and state referendums -- they all matter.
I get that sometimes it feels like you aren't making an impact. My district has elected some truly appalling people. However, the more local the election, the more difference a single vote makes, and even in a presidential election, a small number of votes can make a big difference.
The way the days are blending together right now is not helping me remember to post regularly. I really do have a poem for every day of April, honest!
We left off with the importance of the name you give yourself. La Sirena y el Pescador, by Elisa Chavez, looks at the power taken by those who claim to speak for you, particularly when you cannot speak directly for yourself.
Not all differences in translation are that problematic though. Matsuo Basho's Frog Haiku has many different translations into English because parts of it do not have equivalent words. The various translators use different methods to evoke the tone and "feel" of the original poem.
That leads us to the ultimate in poetry style disputes: Haiku vs. Limericks! (Don't worry, we'll get to sonnets later in the month.)
Beautifully said!

Hi, if you are a teen or an adult who watches/uses things that were “made for kids” or where kids were the target market,
