Darius Phelps introduced #VerseLove25 to poet, Kyle Liang’s Good Son, where we were to take a piece of advice or parental commentary and run with the story. I vividly remember Dad's advice and I knew what I wanted to write about, but not where the language would take me (or to my childhood friend). That is how poetry goes.
Today, it is grading, meetings, meetings, meetings, and the final episode of White Lotus with cheeseburgers. First, I need to write today's poem for tomorrow, but for today I bring you yesterday's poem.
