For Poetry Friday, we're going random!
In her collection In This House Are Many Women, Sheree Fitch's refreshingly direct lyrics explore the harsh realities of women's lives and the many kinds of shelter they create for themselves and give to each other.
Please enjoy some random moments with Sheree Fitch's "Random Moments."

Someday

And hold on tight

I mostly think
That life is funny

I mostly think
That life is funny

And when I'm dead
I'll question God
Why all my life
Life seemed so odd
I'll question God
Why all my life
Life seemed so odd

Then I will searchFor William Blake
And ask him out
