RBG
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
You amaze, you delight
For equality you fight
With eloquence and great insight
How fortunate are we to have as advocate
RBG, with mind, and energy, to state
With clarity the voice of constitutionality.
Erudition, humor, empathy
Sympathy, justice, even it would seem,
Everlasting youth, in the job of your dreams.
Supreme, if I may play with words,
Court us with your wisdom;
Vision of a more just world.
The recent meeting of Delta Kappa Gamma’s Manhattan chapter featured my presentation on “Being a Poet.” The reception was wonderful. In the process of discussing poets and poetry from Western and Eastern cultures, I also included poems from my recently published volume, Dancing for Joy, available through Lulu.com.
