Honorable Mention

The Poetry of Exile—James Joyce, Rumi & Adrian Rice — Steemit

I will turn back the pages of my tattered life to when I was five years old and it was my birthday it was a cold winter day as mom and I strolled to the school to walk my big sister home- she was running and jumping climbed a snowbank and slipped into the busy street mom was screaming- and my life changed forever
