Just like a diamond
Our friendship
Forged from the pressures of time
By the good and the bad
The triumphs and the defeats

Just like a diamond
Our Friendship
Many faceted
We have different faces we show the world
We are different people at different times

Just like a diamond
Our friendship
So strong, so delicate
Capable of withstanding so much
Capable of being damaged by the slightest mishap

Just like a diamond
Our friendship
Costly
Beautiful
Priceless

"Our Friendship"--Berton S Graves

In the spring of the year 2001, Ben and Carrie Pinkard, aged six and eight, asked their grandmother to help them write poems. Her reply was a resounding, "Yes." What happened when this trio met on Wednesday afternoons for five consecutive months to explore and make poems makes up the content of this book.

At each meeting poems were read a loud (as all poems should be); the children were guided into activities intended to sharpen their powers of observation and stir their imagination; poems were then created by the children.

This book contains 74 poems, approximately half written by each...

Inspiring students to write creatively has been one of the great challenges that teachers of English and the written word have faced for decades. Teaching the technical writing process can be a challenging task; however, inspiring students to expand their imaginations to write creatively can be even more challenging. In "26 Odd: Creative Works by Creative Writers," students delve into the inner depths of their minds to expose their deepest thoughts. This has required a tremendous amount of trust on the part of both the teacher an the students. For some, it's the first time in their lives that...

Magic is what poetry is about. Magic can and does happen on the page, but the connection slams allow between poet and audience is both larger and more personal than the printed word. And it's reassuring, in a new century and millennium, to see that most ancient of the literary arts, poetry, return to its oral roots. When it comes to slams, poetry is the winner.

- from the essay "Downtown Slam" by JV Brummels

"Slamma Lamma Ding Dong" is the combined effort of 35 of Nebraska's slam poets. Appealing to fans of both the written and spoken word, it gives voice to the rich culture, the wild...

Bronson. 'Poe T," Douglas William Mowbray, Ricky K. Hood, and Dr. Uplift take you on a heart pounding, thought provoking emotional roller coaster you'll never forget.

We each have a story to tell and a unique perspective from which to tell it. The same event becomes a thousand different realities when sung by a host of crescendoing voices. Yet, ironically, the sweeping scope of each perspective is equaled only by its familiar undercurrent of commonality.

It is this idea of humanity's sameness that is the basis for this book. "Kaleidoscope: A Collection of Writings" contains a wonderfully diverse body of work from many different authors, yet one essential message comes shining through: that only in a kaleidoscope of being and blending does our life take...
