Stranger Than Wal-Mart

"Some 138 million Americans shop at Wal-Mart each week, making it perhaps the single most unifying cultural force in the country."

Rhizome Post #1 | Alyssa Sanders

Read Stranger Than Wal-Mart: Moments Ashleigh Word, her moments are beautiful, especially her first moment about trust.

When I read this entry, it stood out to me because I could relate it to an expierience I just had. For my UNIV class we took a field trip to the college ropes course. It was one of the first times our class met and we were required to trust in one another for support and stability. I loved her post because I could feel her moment. It was so visual that it put me there, and made me relate it to my life.

When other people read my poetry I want them to feel my emotion, or the passion that went into my work. Poems are extremely personal, a piece of your heart, intelect, feelings or whatever go into them. When others read my poems I want them to feel like they are a part that life, my life that I just opened to them.
