weeks

Personal journals are a great place to write poetry, but they are not a great place to share it. In lieu of this, I set out to share a poem from my journal every Wednesday for a year. This journey began on June 9th, 2021 & was completed 52 weeks later on June 1st, 2022. Some are tongue in cheek, others are quite deep. My hope is that these poems serve as a window into my artistry and an inspiration for your own creativity. Thank you for being my accountability partner in the process of growth. There is plenty of room in this garden for us all.

With Love, Jackie
