The way this post made me feel my limbs again… and how I very impulsively want to say that my “strikethrough” is *whispers* werewolves.

Well, there's a whole poetry curriculum right there!

I’ll follow you anywhere. It’s wonderful to see poetry through someone else’s eyes, particularly if (a) that someone has already proven she has lots to say that's worthwhile and (b) she’s already proven she can say what she says with skill, grace, and a generous serving of sass. I’m ready to take a walk on the prosodic wild side.

I would love to enroll in this kind of study gift! I love poetry , I love writing ! My craft in writing is not up to all my ideas, all the things I need to say before I die. And, my poetry chops are even more delinquent compared to what I would like to express poetically. 🙏🏾🤗☀️✍🏽
