A to Z: E and F Poems

Hello readers,

I apologize for not posting Friday and Saturday. I have been camping and shopping. Today I'll do the poems for the past couple days, they may or may not start with E and F. Inspired by poetic asides and napowrimo.

Equations

There are equations
to add or subtract
or more
but it doesn't have to be just for math
it can be for anything.

Farewell

This is a poem of farewell
whether they are a few minutes, hours
or across the ocean from you
it's a loved one
and they pass away

whether you know them or not
they are family
you can't say goodbye
but in your prayer you can
God listens to you and answers you.

I really like the equations poem, which makes math become about life.

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...

It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from  becoming.
