Some links I have enjoyed for Native American poetry: http://users.ap.net/~chenae/natpoem.html http://www.ewebtribe.com/NACulture/poetry.htm http://members.cox.net/academia/songs.html I'll come back another time for Whitman. He is revered by many 'round the world, including this would-be poet. |

I really like this one: "Every step you take should be a prayer. And if every step you take is a prayer, then you will always be walking in a sacred manner." |

MK~ If I could be so humbly proud as to offer my own web pages for Native American Indian heritage poetry - My Native American Indian Poetry http://www.wcnet.org/~bro13256/marge.html http://www.wcnet.org/~bro13256/marge2.html There are many poets here in PiP also that pen of the ways of our people~ As for Walt Whitman ... I have enjoyed reading much of his poetry~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

For us Finns, Aleksis Kivi is a bit like Whitman The healthy lover of nature and celebrator of life http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/akivi.htm |
