Slam poetry: that magical mix of rhythm and rhyme.

Speaking of lengths and extraordinary measures. Extending one’s reach beyond that which is comfortable in extenuating circumstances for an additional allowance and continuance.

I am a published author. Not just on the blogging sites I frequent, or the anthology collection of someone else's dream. I am holding MY story. MY imagination is in my hands.

Mr Stork
I wrote this poem six years ago. It’s in response to the way male medical professionals have treated women both here and abroad for centuries. I confront the icon of the stork, which has characterized birth in so many ways. It’s a cheap substitute that covers up the realities that surround birth. He represents the voice of critics that have shamed women for their bodies and birth experiences. I am involved in development work and have seen the brazen and cruel way in which women are treated around the world, especially if they are poor. My own birth experiences reflected the same treatment. This is for the ones whose journey to motherhood was not instagram perfect.

Tell me, do you believe that you are what you eat? If you do, a thought for you, are also what you think? Stuff you have crammed in your heart and head can’t be contained
