On The InsideIn the Mirror.
Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror? | Not only for a second or two | Have you looked with great focus | Into the purest, most whole part of you?
On The InsideThe Snow Globe.
What if defying the narrative I once believed is the ticket to the life and the possibilities that I have always imagined?
On The InsideThe Avenues.
What if she shifted her perspective? What if her vantage point were to change? What if the lessons she had learned were pivoted in her brain?

A poet that I admire, Pádraig Ó Tuama, recently shared a piece on Substack that proposed eight prompts which readers were asked to answer. The subject matter was the idea of the “ordinary” in life. An “ordinary” for your life.
Those prompt answers were then used to create a pantoum poem. This type of poem is formed by taking the various answers to each prompt and arranging them in a specific order where each will repeat at various times. This piece is my response.
Sending a thank you to, Pádraig Ó Tuama!
