MY WORK: 45 Letters, 19 Syllables

Hey there poetry lovers. Last Semester I was given an assignment to do from my writing club and I think I did pretty well for my first time. I plan on refreshing it in the future, but I need to start putting my work out there more often. I really would of course love the professionals to comment on how they think I could improve on this piece and of course, the rest of my creative work.

Christmas Poem: To the ONE

To the one that thought of me when dying. To the one who said before my birth that I am created in His image and likeness. To the one that thought of me before I was formed in my mother's womb. To the one who created it all and thinks of me. To the one that called me friend and still has time to be my dad. To the one who is Emmanuel, Yeshua and ABBA. To the one who says, "I AM THAT I AM".

MY WORK: I CAN’T BREATHE

Black Girl Writes Series I wrote this piece and published it on June 9th this year and I thought that it would remind many of us of the many tragedies that we as a race have faced over the years. I hope that we all can not just feel sad, hopeless or attacked at the injustice, but try our best to do something about it. Speak up, let us hear your stories. Let's talk about it with our children. I intend on doing a 4-Part Breakdown of this piece and I hope that it will help us to dissect the issues mentioned and also look at how racial profiling, inequality and hate can be. I also wanted to add to my collection of "Black Girl Writes" series and address some other issues that are prevalent in the black community. "I can't breathe and you know it. If I tried to resist it wouldn't be any easier. Day by day, one by one, you try to kill us off like Trayvon. You take us because of superiority, or that's what they like to call it".
