This week a fantastic poet, Kim Whysall-Hammond has honored us with an amazing work of writing. Her poem called “Toxic” might have you think a certain way when you finish it. …and I strongly advise you to finish it 🙂 “virulent suffering” Graphic design by myself The Cheesesellers Wife I’m so tall, I’m so tallYet you raised me to be so small As waves wash an uncaring shoreSo I would wash you with my love As they caress rocks and pebblesI used to kiss your uncaring cheek Waited with the patience of wavesFor you to regard me To see the woman I had becomeAs someone you could be proud of That tide went out years agoI now walk a different shore I’m so tall, I’m so tallYet you raised me to be so small Copyright © 2021 Kim Whysall-Hammond Misquote in italics from Living on the Ceiling by Neil Arthur and Stephen Alfred Luscombe View original postShare this:ShareTwitterFacebookLinkedInWhatsAppLike this:Like Loading...
