Second Generation Poet

I am a second generation poet,
to My Mother i owe it .
Passed down to me as a gift,
In a time where my life was set adrift.
Time has a way of slowing us down 
Creating cobwebs in our minds like a ghost town
My Life is much more different  
But this gift has always helped me feel less indifferent 
It is a burning desire 
To keep lit my poetry fire 
That was given to me so many years ago 
Forever kept in my depths below...


Hello Everyone it has been a good few years since i have been on here much has happened in my life but my Love for Poetry has remained 
I have been married since 2018  and This year we welcomed a Handome baby Boy into this ongoing crazy World We are living in 

This piece literally came to me today as i was re-reading some of my work from years ago   
Time sure has a way of showing you how much you have and have not changed 
I look forward to getting to submit more of my work so you all can enjoy 
-Love Always Ettie
