A Humble Tribute to Alice Munro


Writing
crafting of words
stories to tell, poems to rhyme
songs to be sung, essays that teach
lists for groceries and errands to run

Writing
spends energy gathered from life
woven and knitted in wordy multicoloured fabric 
stories short in the telling and long lasting reads

Writing
a practice for soul to express wisdom, emotion and belief
freedom to shape stories, ideas and to muse.

“In twenty years I’ve never had a day when I didn’t have to think
about somone else’s needs. And this means 
the writing has to be fitted around it.”
~ Alice Munro
