I feel guilty when I write about Trump, because I’m contributing nothing but despair. And I feel guilty when I don’t write about him, because how life-threatening he is to America. So today I’ll just submit a little poemette, entitled
WILL I STILL BE ME?
I want to know
most terribly so.
While rooming in the womb,
on the stage behind the curtains,
overhearing intimations
of change. Whose screams?
I arrive, a piece of ignited clay
presenting with my backside,
bringing pain on opening day.
Be kind to yourself and others.

Poetry of a changing Earth. The grief is real--so is the hope.
Spouse trainer, motherhood survivalist, bread enthusiast... overall great person.
Take a few minutes to slow down and think about what's going on in your world...

Presidents come and go in our democracy…what citizens do is important too. Perhaps we expect too much of our leaders and hang too much of our hope (or despair) on them.
Anyway, I like your poem-ette and the potential each human life possesses!
