One of the blogs I have been reading is Joy Tanksley's You can also find her on Facebook on the fierce love for every body page.
Joy's post today is a poem contest - A Poem for Mrs. Tanksley I can't remember the last time I wrote a poem. I do remember writing one in high school about my love of swimming. So with trepidation and going with my first instincts, no editing, here it is:
Sonja like Lasagna
With so many layers to explore, sweet, soft, spicy and hard
Who loves butterflies, swimming and exploring herself
Who feels sad and glad, disillusioned and enlightened, scared and strong
Who gives too much and not enough
Who fears discovery, being vulnerable and losing herself
Who seeks acceptance, love and peace
Sweet Sonja
