Really loved this one, Linda. It hit home. I've always written poetry like a boxer. I throw jabs and hooks and at times want to "hurt" the reader and get them to feel or see or laugh - don't really care. I write like I talk, lots of hand gestures, voice going up and down, body in constant motion. But that's not poetry some have said. It's something else. Yeah, I suppose it is but I can't write any other way without sounding like AI invaded my body and started writing. Thank you for writing this. 🧡🌹
