As a writer, poetry matters because it offers a unique and powerful form of self-expression that captures complex emotions and experiences. Poetry is essential because it demands that I consider every word and phrase, crafting something that resonates personally and universally. I can connect with readers profoundly and intimately through poetry, fostering empathy and understanding. Poetry inspires change, offers hope, and encourages critical thinking about the world, making it a vital part of my writing process. Ultimately, it's an essential part of my writing process that allows me to express myself authentically and connect with others.

On this beautiful eve of U.S. National Poetry Month, my gratitude and respect for all the mothers by expressing; "Heart to Heart: A Poetic Ode to a Mother's Love."
