National Poetry Month Day 9: Learn By Going Where You Have To Go

Another of my all-time favorite poets is Theodore Roethke.  Many of his poems sound like music to me; they have such amazing rhythm.  The one I’m sharing today is my all-time favorite of his.  “Learn by going where I have to go” – I think of it as a mantra, words to live by.

I’ve actually shared this poem here before.  That’s how much I love it.
