Crit for crit, of course.
And now for something completely different, here's a poem for you to digest. Go for it. Enjoy.
Writes of Passage
Scrawled on the paper is a brief message
Very brief
“I am leaving”
It is written in red ink.
Red ink shows that I didn’t see it coming
This is the way she writes.
With intention.
With no hesitation
With red ink
It’s just another step across the river
Purposely for her
Accidentally for me
But it shows that I can find the silver lining
On this charcoal storm cloud
Filling the horizons
And filling my mind
It’s a message of her rites of passage
It’s written for me
She’s got the right of way
I’ve got to stop telling myself not to go on
Now I’m going on
I write a letter in green ink
Green ink shows that I don’t mean to hurt anyone
Less of a letter, more of a brief message
Very brief.
“I am leaving”
I write my rights.
I step up and define myself
