Odetta

Recycling my comment/poem from years ago, trying to gather some writings together.


NPR Link on Death of Odetta

I wrote this down without editing later, and I never went back and fixed it - seems like I am better spontaneous rahter than labored over, at elast to my own tastes.

this is my comment on the NPR site:
I was teared up holding my infant son and hearing her sing "Amazing Grace." This sprang to mind, I post it here unedited. I am sure I could fiddle and make it better, but..
Odetta Haiku

Oh! Our Odetta,
Your graceful growl will carry
On to heaven’s door.
