After Taylor Swift’s Change.

Been listening to this song non-stop for the past week and you know, the teenage in me just had to do this.

Because 2021 is a sentence (literally and figuratively). Recently published by Sledgehammer Lit. Check out the post on the blog. Link in the bio.

The past year has been filled with a chasm of uncertainty. It crept into our veins as if we were living in a big world of suspended animation. The lockdown happened in March 2020.

Here's a Round-Up for the month of February. I know that it's a tad late but I figured that while I can't commit to writing one poem a day for National Poetry Writing Month, I'd start doing this instead. I already got a head start with Lola's Garden yesterday so I'll kick off the weekend with this haiku and micro poem round-up....
