I along with YL, finished our second poem for our anthology, and it is entitled, Across the Great Divide. We had to discreetly and meticulously choose our words due to the fact that this poem concerns itself with racial disharmony which unfortunately plagues our country. Consequently, it took us over 3 hours to brainstorm and come up with a poem that conveys a powerful message. As always, it is very simplistic where poetic devices are concerned, but the message stands firm. Without divulging too much of the details, the message is that if we put aside our differences and work together, we can accomplish great things.

Maya Angelou inspired me to write this poem from her poem, the Human Family. As she said, “In minor ways we differ, but in major ways we are the same.”

On another note, I had a pleasant weekend. On Friday, I spent the day with my half siblings. It gives me a sense of purpose in life to able to do little things for them that mean the world to them. They are great kids, and they truly deserve the best.

I watched Made of Honor yesterday night at 1utama, it was hilariously funny, although I think Patrick Dempsey is too old to be acting in these romantic comedies, lol. He’s still flaming hot though!

 

Until I write again, toodles!
