[Poem-a-Week] Dear Poet by Elizabeth Estrada
We'll be returning to our regularly scheduled Tuesday posts next week!
Dear poet you are brave you are soul meets planet earth and earth meets shockwave and shockwave meets elevated consciousness and elevated consciousness meets you. Poet The one who just wants to create Lost in societies bait But she just wants to Create. So dear poet, Who are you? Deep down you know wave to current seed to fruit human to being magic, mystic, complex, messy Connecting ideas like dots from pen to paper brush on canvas thought is now action Dear poet, you are sweet, patient sometimes fearful and rampant Chaotically calm like a popping wax candle scented from the oceanic oak trees Back to the original organism orgasmic in your rhythm loose in your movement Firm in idea Frozen yogurt melts with slippery strawberries They say unfortunate, You say Art. period blood wiped on gut they say dirty, you say Art. It’s the Primal pride no menstrual shame ancestral energies within you ride for change desiring it now But everything has a time and place A time and place a time and taste Sweet with a touch of salt Umami yes I have mommy issues daddy issues Yet I choose to sit in light and it shines brighter than any problem in the way So Remind yourself it’s okay to play let the inner child run through Dear poet, you perform surgery on words and end up healing yourself.
