5+ months since I waved goodbye to Instagram—no regrets! ✌️ BlueSky’s been quiet from me too, but that’s about to change. My poetry is making a comeback! Whether you’ve been here from the start or just landed—welcome! Fresh verses are on the way, and I can’t wait to hear what you think. 🌟

Sharing to get the word out. I know a lot of people have already left Meta but if you haven’t, now might be a good time to do a backup and reconsider leaving.

From the poem “Our Grandmothers” by Maya Angelou “Centered on the world's stage, she sings to her loves and beloveds, to her foes and detractors: However I am perceived and deceived, however my ignorance and conceits, lay aside your fears that I will be undone, for I shall not be moved.”

she is the want of rain; a skin of thirst cracked open beneath a bruised sky but she won’t beg ~ she’ll dare the storm to remember her and hold her name whenever it breaks #poetry #writingcommunity
