Poem “This Title is for You:”
Stacy Cardenas, contributor
The boys of winter
Bring dry spring
New edition, welcomes change
The Women of America
Ignite summer.
You are our summer.
We are inspiring
We are champions
But
We are endangered species,
Some downhill wonders.
Yet
We are Queen, and like a rolling stone
We are songs that changed the world.
So
Share your passion
To
Say it loud
As I scream through my words
to Women. to You.
You sparkle, we shine.
We learned to embrace our summer light
All thanks to you, forever bright.
This is a poem I wrote back in high school that was used as a preface to this class poetry book we gifted our literature teacher after she came back from medical leave. I wanted the theme to be highlighting the power of femininity once we found out our teacher was diagnosed with breast cancer. What inspired this poem was an activity we did where we’d go read the book titles in the library shelves and use it to make poetry.
