Tonight something awesome happened... I was able to commit some time to my creative practice and get some new stuff crafted! Some of you may know I love writing poetry and playing with words and ideas. It's been a while since I've been able to set aside dedicated time to just simply write. Tonight it finally happened. Here's my newest poem entitled "First Ladies". I hope you enjoy it.
XOXO

First Ladies
Cross your legs.
Sit up straight.
Smile often.
Wear red lipstick but
not too red.
Speak softly
but not too softly
or you’ll never be heard.
You can feel confident
as long as others don’t notice.
You can even crack a joke
as long as his joke is better.
Don’t wear that outfit
it makes him weak.
Don’t show the nape of your neck
unless you’re ready to be another statistic.
A real man provides for his lady.
A real lady lets herself be a spectacle.
He took a sip out of his vanilla latte.
Real men are out there.
We’re just waiting until girls
learn how to be first ladies.
His answer was as fake as Velveeta cheese.
And he thought I was the poor little damsel still stuck in a tower.
