My god,
I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.
—Ada Limón (@adalimon)
This poem. This ending.

(To all the Moms and a few of the Dads out there.)

How to Triumph Like a Girl
#AdaLimon
I like the lady horses best, how they make it all look easy, like running 40 miles per hour is as fun as taking a nap, or grass. I like their lady horse swagger, after winning. Ears up, girls, ears up! But mainly, let’s be honest, I like that they’re ladies. As if this big dangerous animal is also a part of me, that somewhere inside the delicate skin of my body, there pumps an 8-pound female horse heart, giant with power, heavy with blood. Don’t you want to believe it? Don’t you want to lift my shirt and see the huge beating genius machine that thinks, no, it knows, it’s going to come in first.

How does it feel when we accept everything that “is” in the moment?

April is National Poetry Month!

Each day this month I will be sharing either an entire poem or a snippet of one (can they can be long).

April 23rd is “What I Didn’t Know Before”, by Ada Limon.

From the goddess Ada Limón, a musing on our mythological matriarch, Eve.

This plays at Eve being a definer and being defined. Perhaps if she had been named by the birds, it would have more truly manifest her divinity.

Went to see #AdaLimón give her farewell speech as US #PoetLaureate. I laughed and cried and fell in love with her all over again. There is beauty and power in words, and she reminded us why despots want to silence artists, and that words have power to aggregate and unify and mature us human

A favorite line from Ada Limón's poem "Invasive": "Bury the broken thinking in the backyard with the herbs."

“Instructions on Not Giving Up” by Ada Limon (2017)

An Orchard in Spring by Claude Monet (1886)

#poems #paintings #impressionist #AdaLimon #Monet
A poem with a painting of trees with white petals behind it, including a woman sitting in front of the trees. The poem is Instructions on Not Giving Up by Ada Limon. More than the fuchsia funnels breaking out of the crabapple tree, more than the neighbor’s almost obscene display of cherry limbs shoving their cotton candy-colored blossoms to the slate sky of Spring rains, it’s the greening of the trees that really gets to me. When all the shock of white and taffy, the world’s baubles and trinkets, leave the pavement strewn with the confetti of aftermath, the leaves come. Patient, plodding, a green skin growing over whatever winter did to us, a return to the strange idea of continuous living despite the mess of us, the hurt, the empty. Fine then, I’ll take it, the tree seems to say, a new slick leaf unfurling like a fist to an open palm, I’ll take it all.
