I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

"Where I am From"   [E] by Angelica- Happy May 5th!

Mini-review: I really really like this. The jumble of juxtapositions will connect with many people who have more than one heritage or home or like me who come from a very simple background that they then made more complicated, interesting, dangerous and beautiful.

I found the word 'large' puzzling and interpreted it as 'fat' (from eating). The lack of punctuation combined with left-flush capitalization made it harder for me to read. But it still was powerful. It's going on 10 years now. Perhaps time for an edit. I give it a 4.6.

Prompt: Write about where you are from. My poem:

From whence I come

I come from broken promises and broken spirit,
a waif hiding in shadows — given away by shy smiles,
a talent never developed — too afraid to stand out
and too full-of-myself to keep my mouth shut.

Abandoned strawberry fields knew my summer name,
spent cattails and weeds in narrow cracks my sorrows
mown grass was my carpet, worn dirt my playpen
I often gave hugs to my favorite elm tree.

Now no one hugs me — I wither like flowers
that wait too long to bloom, or cut off at the roots
can't find their way home — I bloom none-the-less
and am better for it. My spirit prepares to return.

I wrote to SandraLynn Team Florent! , "The lantern festivals [in Taiwan] are magical. Many towns have small ones every year. The national one rotates among places and is usually huge. This coming Year of the Ox, February 12th, it's in Hsinchu, February 26-March 7th, along a canal. Photos should be great. I really want to go. The sky lanterns in Shifen (Pingxi) in the north are world famous (February 26th)."

Jiufen has a street of lanterns:
