You are not crazy, it’s the patriarchy
You’re not a loser, it’s the capitalism
You are not old, time’s not really a thing
You’re not alone, I’m here
You’re made of stars, that’s fucking cool

It’s #NationalPoetryMonth and I’m a poem-a-day person. Sometimes I forget my daily poem instantly, but sometimes the words soak into my brain like water into a dry plant. That’s the case today, with @MaaLiMachine’s “The Spirit Names of Stolen Books.”

April is #NationalPoetryMonth so throughout the month I’ll be sharing poems, poetry resources, activities/prompts, & any other fun poem-y things that come to mind!
I’m also aiming to write a poem-a-day…or at least spend time writing everyday. How are you celebrating #NaPoMo?

Months later, I found one hanging on a branch
of a pear tree. A frog corpse nestled between
unfurling leaves and my favorite blossoms
because they resembled
small white fish.

#NationalPoetryMonth Day 4: LOCK
The lock on my phone
Scans my face
To see if I’m still me.
But at night,
Half asleep,
When I pick up my phone to see the time,
The lock doesn’t work.
My phone only recognizes
The mask I wear
During the day.

It’s National Poetry Month and I would just like to emphasize
Poetry is not a medium that is solely about providing comfort. It’s a political form with political responsibility and your job as a poet is political. #nationalpoetrymonth
