The first poem was written as a tribute to all women; poem about empowerment and freedom. I hope it helps my readers to realize that they too can overcome.
The second poem refers to aging. It addresses the way that age can jade us, making us cynical.
"The Last Dance" was written on break at college, as I watched the leaves dance their final dance of fall, celebrating their impending death.
"Faded Shades of Yesterday" is a poignant bit of verse depicting the unsavory atmosphere of my mom's calling hours at the funeral home. It can be rather disturbing, yet effective in realizing that death can be both beautiful and sickening.
This final poem is a fun piece that I wrote about that special ability that a poet has of conveying his/her feelings, hopes, dreams, disappointments, and fears to the reader. It reads like almost a conversation or love affair between the two of them.
