The Right To Remain Silent

Poems are cities of inspired words
A poem understands that its words
can and will be used against it in a court of law
where it may be
jigsawed into garments of a new narrative
A poem knows it can be suffocated
And yet…
a true poem readily gives up its right to remain silent

Mum, author and dentist is how I describe myself. I love creating pictures from words. Sometimes a painter, other times a weaver- words are my tool; trying to create something beautiful. When I was nine, my dad introduced me to audio books. I was hooked. With his guidance, I fell into a world where words became life simply by weaving them together. So here I am, living out my passion- reading and writing! Enjoy the ride with me 😁😁
