More Than A Bone MeMe Wednesday

Wednesday, July 14, 2010

Here's our first More Than A Bone meme. List ten things that you love that start with a letter of your choice.

Feel free to tag someone with the meme. Participation is voluntary. If you post your response on your blog, please leave a link here in the comments.

Ten things I love that start with the letter A:


Autumn- It is my favorite season. It's also a season of loss.

Assonance- I'm partial to sound devices in poetry.

Art- love all forms. I love beautiful things and things created out of passion.

Audre Lorde- I think she was a brilliant writer and gifted poet.

Abandoned Automobile: Detroit City Poetry 2001. An anthology that shows the real breadth and humanity of my native city.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. Informative, funny, relevant. Perspective changing.

August Wilson. An African American playwright if you don't know him, you should.

Alice Walker. We share a birthday. We both write poetry. She's good at it. She's a womanist. Me, too.

"All Things Considered", title of a poem I wrote. Sentimental but I actually think this one works.

"Adagio for Strings," Samuel Barber. One of the first pieces of music my guy shared with me. Affected me deeply.

    Jenn, I hear you on #1. We need to do more. Sheryl, who are your favorite Science Fiction authors? I'm new to the genre. I love Octavia E. Butler. Cee, abstinence wish I knew the word. I was so desperate for love when I was a teen. I wish our girls valued themselves more. I'm not anti-sex, I'm pro young women making informed, mature decisions about their bodies.

    Alto - The timbre of my voice

Abstinance - The thing I wished I'd practiced LONGER when I was a teenager!

Abandon - Another word for Passion. The way I'd like to live, to write, to be without restriction or hesitation.

Ample - My body. It's not too big nor too small.

Ambition - I have a lot of it. Sometimes it is intimidating to some, but that's alright. It's my drive and it's all mine!

Assess -- I like to study things. Not say a lot. As much as I love to talk, I try to listen more.

Ambience - Atmosphere is always important no matter where you are!

Aura - I feel a person's personality almost instantly. I'm a sensitive. If I'm invading a person's space, I'm gone.

Amiable - I'm easy going. I'm a feel-good gal.

Amen - And so it is! emoticon

    I loved the idea and loved reading your blog.

I will work on my A list later also. What an Awesome (an A word I might add) idea.

I also adore Alice Walker and I write poetry too. In fact, I wrote a poem this morning, as I woke with "A Song in my Heart".

I will be back..

Sunny
