Looks like Amanda Palmer has really started something with her Dzhokhar Tsarnaev poem. A lot more people are starting to share their thoughts and feelings via the medium of poetry, and I really think it’s helping everyone heal.
Please open your hearts and your minds, and feel free to join in if you feel inspired:
