Fun and resonant practices in verse! Wonderful, K. Love the imagery of the Origami kite. There’s a kind of tension throughout of liberation and being tethered. Let’s keep going!
I needed this so much today, K- the permission to slow down, to exist, to turn my face towards the sun and to listen deeply. Thank you so much for this love letter! ❤️ 😍
I loved how you captured the struggle to "just be" in your poem - I can relate to this. I also love when people experiment with the form of their content, I found this super interesting. Thank you, dear K. Alexandra!
Thank you so much for the encouragement to branch out in form! With all the poets being featured from National Poetry Month, I was feeling inspired. I appreciate your kind words. <3
Your poem is a heartfelt call to all the people-pleasers out there, encouraging them to pause, reflect, and reclaim their inner voice. It's a beautifully (and timely) crafted reminder that true fulfillment comes from embracing our own needs and feelings, rather than constantly adjusting to please others.
Thank you for sharing this powerful piece; it's a beacon for those struggling to find their own glow amidst the demands of pleasing and (sometimes) unpleasant people.
So beautiful and inspiring! Thank you dear Kay!

Such a beautiful image! A Japanese exchange student taught me origami when I was 14. Such a wonderful practice. “Walking each other home”-Ram Dass. 💫💛
