I really enjoy reading your pieces! You liked one of mines & it led me to your page. I strive to have poems like yours. Any feed back on the one you did read? It's started of with "11 months..." If that helps.

I’m a fan of prose/poetry hybrids and I think that particular work of yours is one of those. I think it is already good as it is, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

As for having poems like mine, if you look at my writing, I am quite experimental with form. Some are just all about rhythm, some bordering on essay, some cannot be read unless as a gif animation. Style wise, I am inspired primarily by Marshall McLuhan. If that is the kind of style you want to develop, I can help.

If you want to better your writing, my suggestion is to try to read as many poems as you can. Try to understand what poems you like and dissect it like a frog on science class. Ask why you like that particular poem. What made it work? What made it stand out?

Then, be a ruthless editor. Revisit your poems. Question them. Criticize them. Ask people to evaluate them. Then revise them. Then revise them. Then revise them again.

I hope you keep pushing. I know it’s hard and that there are a million things going on around you but stay focused. Stay passionate about where you’re headed, even if you don’t know exactly where that is yet. At least you’re moving. Sometimes, you find where you’re supposed to be by simply choosing a direction and taking a step. Be good to the people along the way. Keep true to what you love and the kind of life you want to live. Keep pushing, you could be almost there and not even know it.

Reasons why Susie Carmichael is one of the greatest Black Cartoon Characters of all time

Her character was voiced by Cree Summer who played Freddie Brooks on A Different World.

She introduced culture to white suburbia.

Taught the babies all of the popular black dances.

And maybe even showed them a thing or two about cooking.

She was perpetually unbothered by Angelica’s nonsense.

Literally. Her shade-throwing skills surpass any other three-year-old.

But she was never afraid to cry.

Demand what she wanted.

Be a leader.

Get angry for the cause.

Defend the babies from Angelica.

Or anybody else who tried to mess with them.

Immensely talented.

And, smart AF. She could speak 10 languages by the time they were in high school.

Susie was just a magical black girl.

We need more examples to see black girls magic!
