(14/16I will not carry your shame forever.
I will not flinch at the mirror.
I will hold the name Killian like an oath,
not as a wound,
but as the star of Bethlehem leading me
to the woman I still believe
he once saw beneath Gomorrah's ruin and worst moments.

I am participating in our local library's summer reading program for adults (there's a kids one too) and this is for my "well designed cover" pick. I found it by random near the ecology section.
Sofar, sogood 📚😊💖💖

Why is it in vogue to hate on rhyming poetry/form poetry? I write a little of all kinds, but the prevailing sentiment, especially in contests and journals is that if it rhymes, it's doggerel. How did we get here when some of the greatest writing in history rhymes? #poetty

Autumn of love
what you touch becomes cold
what you look at
withers
what you feel turns gray
