		<description><![CDATA[Freewrites are Wacky
Freewrites are Weird
Freewrites are funny
They&#8217;re worse than you feared
Freewrites are writing the stuff in your mind
When the timer rings then you might find
you&#8217;ve a poem &#8217;bout pliers
a book about tops
You know you&#8217;ll have something when the timer stops!
Sam Morris (12)
&#8211;
I love when your kids send me their writing. How delightful is this? Thanks [...]]]></description>

Today I&#8217;m reading some poetry by Lucille Clifton, an African American poet whose work is bright with the power of self-creation, triumph and the fierce embrace her female-ness. I want to share a couple with you:
