And speaking of Naomi Shihab Nye, whose work I am very fond of, I wrote a little something for PaperTigers, in celebration of poetry month, that I would like to share with you ? my humble contribution to this very interesting thread. It's called "Waking Up on the Right Side of The Poetry Bed" and was inspired by something Nye said in an interview from some years ago:

Thanks, everyone, for the all the great comments and insights so far. Aline
