Spring

cherry blossoms float south

carried by a gentle breeze

of chirps and happy sighs

Summer

I think peace looks like:  

driving on the highway from College Park  

listening to “White Ferrari” 

by Frank Ocean 

I don’t like the word chivalry

The spelling

The sound

And what it means

Be chivalrous and put women first!

Can’t we just be treated as equals?

I think it’s dumb

A prince in shining armor

Flowers

poems

are the souls

of long-forgotten flowers.

Whispers

poems

Dear five-year-old me,

you are in kindergarten right now.

You are going to meet your absolute best friend in just a little while -

or maybe you already have.

Either way, remember to be kind to her.

I love being a girl 

but I hate what it took

for me to be able to go to school

for me to know I will be able to vote

for me to know that I will be allowed to get a job when I grow older
