A to Z: L and M Poems

Hello readers, I apologize from not posting on Saturday and Sunday. I was at another camp, it's a Muslim youth camp. Following are poems that may or may not start with L and M and are inspired by camp:

Love

Love is something that infests in your body
and it grows so large
after bonding with sisters in faith
and learning about your faith

Love is a pinkie promise
a long hug or back rub
love is an acquaintance
asking you to sit with them

Love is any and everything.

---

Money

Money is not just cash or coins
to pay for material things
Money is something else
that pays for your afterlife

Money is the love you give
to any and everything
money is the small, good deeds
you do for yourself and others
to God.

---

MYNA

It was my first time
and I like any other event
I'm asked about my siblings

But soon I'm my own person
doing my own thing
everyone is so caring on how you feel
whether you know them or not
it's what starts a close and long lasting bond.

I like the pinkie promise. People get so stuck on love being "romantic", but I think the real definition of love is so much larger.

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...
