Happy National Poetry Month

 

I am a little late getting to National Poetry Month, but at least I remembered it!  Last year it almost slipped completely by.

So.

Let's get this month started -

Remember what you must do - RECOMMENDED READING

Some days, only poetry will do.

Today, for me, it's Nikita Gill

Remember what you must do

When they undervalue you,

when they think
your softness is your weakness,
when they treat your kindness
like it is their advantage.

You awaken
every dragon,
every wolf,
every monster
that sleeps inside of you
and you remind them
what hell looks like
when it wears the skin
of a gentle human.

― Nikita Gill, Wild Embers: Poems of Rebellion, Fire and Beauty
