Hello everyone, the post, I have selected, today, is an expression of my anger and frustration, towards the institutional and societal transphobia that exist, in western society, today. In many ways, the trans-community is experiencing, what Afro-Americans and Canadians have gone through, the pre and post Civil Rights struggle.

I wrote a poem to link with PU on Wednesday and wrote about how I feel about writing with all of my groups. It is a commitment to decide to write weekly with Toads, something I enjoy that helps make me a better poet. Making friends through prompt writing is one of my favorite things.

I hope everyone has a good week! I'll be around to read soon.

Hugs! Bekkie

Wow. Words cannot express how much I loved his spoken word inspiration! So powerful. Fave lines "Our stories are the ladders that make it easier for us to touch the stars...so climb...grab them, spill your emotions in the big dipper and pour out your soul. Light up the world with your illuminous allure" Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.

Forgot to say that I apologize for being a day late on this post -- and that I'm linking up a poem I wrote for my son -- who has just "graduated" Kindergarten. A first step in a long education to come, and one that I hope is rich in diversity and creativity -- it seems apt to share after watching Donovan's graduation speech. :-)
