Burning Questions

Why were women not allowed to vote in the first place?

Why, as women, should we care about our right to vote? (For the ladies only.)

What did it take for these suffragists to change the laws about women's rights?

Shad Reads Penny Pollock


When the Moon is Full
By Penny Pollock

Full moons come,
full moons go,
softening nights
with their silver glow.

They pass in silence 
all untamed
but as they travel
they are named.

Blake Reads Christina Georgina Rossetti





Who Has Seen the Wind?


Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.

Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

Kylie Reads Pablo Neruda


Ode to Enchanted Light
Pablo Neruda


Under the trees light
has dropped from the top of the sky,
light
like a green
latticework of branches,
shining
on every leaf,
drifting down like clean
white sand.

A cicada sends
its sawing song
high into the empty air.

The world is
a glass overflowing
with water.
