and post notes and photos about your poem like Edward Ibeh.
I see the weight of your woes
Sagging over your shoulder
And its slipping from your grasp
Like grains of sand escaping
From a tightly clenched fist.
Oh, traveler, shake off
Your encumbrance! Lord knows...
You've walked a fistful of miles,
And you've got much more to go.
I see your knees are buckling.
Allow me to help carry the weight.
You mustn't be Atlas holding up
the weight of the world alone.
Everybody needs a helping hand,
So let me share your burden.
Written for...
