      I am a bad person
      I have stolen
      Baby pink diapers
      Cans of sweet beans
      An old seafoam green dress
      A faded half-filled notebook
      Dozens of stained thin blankets
      Sickly sweet used candles
      Fractured Swiss army knife
      4 cheddar colored pencils
      Mini blue sharpener
      A duct tape plastered baby carrier
      Knit baby hat
      It’s just her & I
      With our needs
      Not enough room for wants

      Why do you like to write poetry?

      “My love for poetry dwells in its unique ability to tell hundreds of stories in a few stanzas. To write poetry means to weave a set of words to create an unconventional tale. This undertone of unconventionality is what draws me back. Poetry is a way for people to express themselves while letting others have their own journey through your words.”
