I finally picked up Milk and Honey (Rupi Kaur) and also Lang Leav‘s poetry collections: Love Looks Good On You. Needless to say, it was the boost I needed to start working on my second poetry collection! There are so far 60 short proses and poems in the draft, and here is one of them.
First Blood
“Have you started bleeding?”
“No…have you?”
“Of course! Last year!”
“Wow. How does it feel?”
“Oh, you know, just a bit bloody. Not too bad.”
Why hasn’t mine come yet?
Is something wrong with me?
Where could I have gotten more information
Other than the other girls’ conversations
Why was there no education
No open communication
On something so important
As our menstruation?
For more of my poetry, you can check out my first poetry collection: A Season of Poetry at the shop. Thank you for your support!
