And now our (totally optional) prompt! Early on in the month, I asked you to write a valediction — a poem of farewell. Today, let’s try the opposite, and write poems of greeting. There’s lots of things you could greet. The spring? Your new stapler? A favorite classmate? An addition to the menu at your local cafe? The subject’s up to you — now get out there and say “hello!”
white nights
stolen images
the power of luxury
the luxury of power
homeless faith
fire in my veins
mascara down my eyes
invisible bruises
broken words
broken world
killing days
another mistake
chased by the man in grey
a shame for what went wrong
to your colors i’m blind
it’s my freedom that i signed
a thank
a regardless mind
