Beautiful Rowanda
Oh how blessed and precious the day of your birth. When God saw the need for an angel on Earth.
What shall I name her? He asked. Shall I name her Precious or Lovely, Beautiful or Comely. What shall her name be?
If I call her Precious, how will her love be known and if I call her Beautiful her Peaceful seed may go un-sown.
She is love, kindness, joy and wisdom and all of these the world shall see. I will call her name Rowanda and forever shall her name be.
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
