I am 100% going to blackout poem my patriarchal blessing! Asking my sister and my “Self Belief Society” friend group to do the same. You’re an inspiration! Thx for your courage and strength! (And your amazing wit!😜)
Love it! Your "Dear Prophet" poem is spot on. Please replace pulpits with circles and answers with questions. Please teach people to listen to their own wisdom. What a much better world it would be!
The blackout poem is powerful. Yes wholeheartedly, "women are enough"! I might have to do the same with my patriarchal blessing...if only I can find it.
Delightful to have you share your blackout poem—and the other one(s)— with us today. It was a joy to me to see! It was only recently that I ran across blackouts for the first time!

Do it! Do it! Do it!
Love this! I love blackout poetry- I wrote about it last week as an act of transformation
Take an old structure, break it down, build something truer and more beautiful
Which is what you are doing with your life! 🥰
