I love this meandering yet coherent poem and the way you revere the hawk/poet at the end. This was fun and wonderful in its truth💛💛💛

I'm going to read this again tomorrow. And probably the next day too.

Hilarious, Julie. So true! Well done! The only different for me is, although I don't enjoy hawking my poetry, I love doing public readings.

Ok, this is my favorite poem so far (and I love them all). Can I DM you with a question?

Also, thanks for the nice comment about the poem! This poem came because I was really struggling with a block and just gave myself permission to meander. Funny how that loosening can create something with potential!

I love the stream of consciousness feeling and then the twist with "hawk" and the way it ties together at the end...
