Celebrating #Seussday

Dear friends out in cyberland,

Today is the day we celebrate Dr. Seuss' birth, and for that occasion, of rhymes there should be no dearth. Horton may have heard a Who, but today readers across America want to hear from YOU.

So pick up your writing utensils, from keyboards to hand-crafted pencils; take a little time to craft a short rhyme. Channel the spirit of Dr. Seuss and your writing brain will surely come loose. Today is the day for procrastination as we recognize great books across the nation! So come join us please, on Blogger, Facebook or Twitter. Choose your own venue, but don't fail to remember great literature.

when i found myself on planet earth
and realized what it was worth
i wondered soon how long would be
the life of lands of brave and free
who closed their minds and shouted loud
paid heed to only strong and proud
believed their ways were always right
and justified beliefs with might
forgetting their fathers fled persecution
to make reasoned justice their solution
ah, closed minds are always certain
but reason is not shrill
