Shall days be generations?
Greetings everyone, below is my entry for Vocal's "The Dragon Beside Me" challenge! Here's a poem about 3 generations of women who had influenced (and will continue to influence) my life, in not just the past and present, but future as well. I'll be doing a breakdown of it below, so read on!
