Suheir Hammad- Def Poetry- A Revision of First Writing Since
In the spoken word and written, language is significant.
The way a spoken piece uses inflection, gestures, tone is how the written word must use form, structure, and language to be our most expressive selves on the page.
I am not a woman scorned.
A real feeling: called to action yet powerless.
What response do I want my readers to have?
Like living in a honeycomb.
Sometimes raw emotion is problematic and depending on the desired outcome one may need to pause and work out his or her thoughts and feelings before responding.
So quick to judge.
Some words are toxic and some are tonic. These are some of my tonic words.

“Are you anybody else’s missing piece?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Well, maybe you want to be your own piece?”
“I can be someone’s and still my own.”
Shel Silverstein, The Missing Piece
Interviewer: How do you see your characters evolving ?
Rupert: Well. Ron and Hermione are definitely friends now. But, it’s gonna change. They are definitely something else. They are soulmates. I think they end up together. But it’s a secret, don’t tell her I said that.
THE MOST PRECIOUS!
