I am listing quotes below.  I want you to pick one and write a poem from it.

"They say the seeds of what we will do are in all of us, but it always seemed to me that in those who make jokes in life the seeds are covered with better soil and with a higher grade of manure." Hemingway


"...there is a difference between being convinced and being stubborn. I'm not certain what the difference is, but I do know that if you butt your head against a stone wall long enough, at some point you realize the wall is stone and that your head is flesh and blood."  Maya Angelou

"Little deeds of kindness,
Little words of love,
Make our earth an Eden,
Like the heaven above."  Julia A. Fletcher Carney


"We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it."  John Lennon


"I have no desire for riches. Honest poverty and a conscience torpid through virtuous inaction are more to me than corner lots and praise.  Mark Twain

"A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.      Martin Luther
