Your Poetic Pick - Water . . Insired/ a response to “Home” by Warsan Shire. I love this poem and its powerful lines such as “"No one puts their children in a boat unless the water is safer than the land" or “no one leaves home until home is a sweaty voice in your ear saying- leave, run away from me now i dont know what i've become but i know that anywhere is safer than here.” . . .

Your Poetic Pick - Connection . I had mentioned before that I lost my mom at a very young age. I don’t really have a lot of memories of my childhood - God gave me the gift of forgetting, I guess. I don’t remember a lot about my mom, and as a child of immigration, I didn’t grow up with communal memories or shared stories from extended family. In many ways, my mom is a collage of stories that I piece together from other’s memories. Every time I hear stories about her I desperately search for a connection, a shared trait, a commonality, a link between her and I. My extended family will tell me I remind them of her and I want to be like “how?”; “Can you categorize it, and explain it, so that I can re-examine it later?” I take their words and make them gems, hidden in spaces in heart, taking them out to scrutinize when I am trying to figure out who I am. . When I hear these stories of her, they connect me back to this person I don’t know but am desperately longing for. . . PC: Modified Vector from GDJ via Pixabay . . .

Your Poetic Pick - Family . Family - chosen and born, is a big part of my life. I am lucky and blessed to be surrounded by people I call family. I always miss the ones who have left, and think of them always but especially this time of year. I carry them in my heart and gain strength from the words and love they shared with me when they were here. Photo is of my mom and dad on their wedding day . . . . .
