How To Scare A Supremacist
Today I rose up my fist…
Today I rose up my fist
But intention was never to hit,
I learned in a book
Guns can hurt crooks,
But my mind is what scares a supremacist…

My Time Capsule Haiku Challenge
Another Vocal challenge is over! The Time Capsule Haiku Challenge was amazing, and it made me really proud of my growth in poetry over the last few months. I enjoyed the theme of “time” and all the ways I could tackle it. If you know my writing, then you know that I typically turn every challenge into a way I can bring attention to life as a Black person, and I did that a lot this time around. Now that the winners are all announced, I wanted to have a place where all my submissions “lived.” This may be something that I do specifically for the poetry challenges for me, but I’m hoping a few of you subscribers may appreciate it too (can’t believe I actually have subscribers now). Enjoy, and congratulations everyone who participated and the winners…

TICK TOCK
11.59. Even though the glass had shattered, Lorna could still see that her watch ticked over. One minute until midnight. Her watch was the only thing she had that she could carry. The only thing to remember her parents by. A birthday present from last year, the year she turned seventeen.
