R.I.P. Whitney Houston

 When I'm not obsessing about race, I write daily poems on Facebook that are made from my friends' Status Updates.This one is in honor of Whitney Houston, and reflects the outpouring of emotions from so many individuals on the day of her passing.  I think it does a better job than I can do right now, as I pour over my memories of Whitney,  her incredible voice, and the songs she gave us--songs that shaped our lives during the 1980's and 90's.  Thankfully, the memories eventually keep circling back to, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody,"  as if I could will one more dance with Whitney.  FACEBOOK POEM OF THE DAY (made from friends' status updates) RIP Whitney Houston All I could dowas gasp indisbeliefsay it ain't so!I get so emotionalbaby (I really am right now)and that voiceoh my God!you hadthe voice of an angelwhere do broken hearts godidn't we almosthave it allI willalways love you
