100 Poems: Poem 25

[lady_organa]

{Take the 100 Things challenge!}

The first poem of today is by Gwendolyn Brooks. I just cracked open her Selected Poems. I really them.

Sadie and Maud seems to me to be a warning. I think it's saying not to judge people because you never know how life is going to turn out. Like don't turn your nose up at other people because they didn't meet your expectations.

That poem really does sound like a warning.
