My Grandma's Poem

My Gramdma Gramy is a wonderful poet. Here is some of her work!

RAIN...WE FINALLY HAD RAIN.

FINE RAIN...HEAVY PLOPPING DROPS AND SOFT RAIN

THEY CALLED IT THE PINEAPPLE EXPRESS...BRINGING WARM SOFT BREEZES...WARM SOFT AIR TO BREATHE IN  FROM HAWAII

WHAT A JOY FOR OUR PARCHED SOIL AND WITHERED DRY PLANTS

WASHING THE DIRT OFF OUR CARS.  MAKING THEM SHIMMER AND SHINE

STEPPING OUT ONTO THE PORCH I CAN HEAR THE THUNDER OF THE FROG SONGS AND THE DRIP DRIP DROP OF THE RAINDROPS SPLASHING ON THE STREET

THE WET PAVEMENT SHONE BRIGHTLY IN THE LIGHT OF THE STREET LAMPS

THE MATS ON THE CHAIRS COVERED WITH BITS OF DIRT LEFT BY VISITING CATS WHO TAKE COVER FROM THE STORM

I SHAKE ONE MAT ONCE...TWICE...THRICE...INSTANT SILENCE...THE FROG SONG STOPS AND I AM SAD.

THE AIR IS COLD...I LOOK AROUND AND WAIT AND LOOK.

THE SONG IS SILENT...I WAIT

THE AIR IS COOL...I WAIT

AND THE SONG AGAIN BEGINS

I AM HAPPY...I LISTEN

I DON'T SIT...I LISTEN AND SMILE

SOUNDS I LIKE ARE HAPPENING.

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
