Pre-eclampsia is a particularly problem relative to disparities for mothers with disabilities and black mothers, both of whom are at increased risk of poor maternal-fetal health outcomes. This has the potential to be another tool to move towards equity in maternal-fetal healthcare.

Oof, brave poem, to explore such trauma.

Thank you! But you know, garlic only has thin skin. :) And our skin grows thinner as we age...

Thank you for the kind words! I have a new-ish daily comic diary practice, and this is the first year I've tried to merge NaPoWriMo. Not sure I'll be able to do this.

Revving up for the start of #NaPoWriMo, yet again. Day One is a poetry comic, "The Mindfulness of Garlic." https://rosefirerising.word... (Looking at "A Book of Images")

Yes, yes, yes. I always find it utterly flattening with exhaustion. Right now, doing the best I can, but also have Long COVID, and just can't do every single day, no matter how hard I try.

Surprisingly effective prompt! https://rosefirerising.word...

On prompt. It was kind of simple because I just went to Via Negativa https://www.vianegativa.us/ where they have a gazillion years of daily poems from multiple poets, and this wonderful "random poem" button for accessing the site. I knew I wouldn't have any problem finding something to which I could write a response. So here's mine, bouncing off of Luisa Igloria's recent Epiphora poem. https://rosefirerising.word...

I was so distracted by the mangoes I couldn't write about anything else. Although, these are not remotely tropical mangoes. https://rosefirerising.word...

Oh, that's frustrating and worrisome. I hope it works out for the best!

I could not think of a single thing to write. So I wrote a humorous rant about when you jot a note for a really clever poem concept, and go back, and it means absolutely NOTHING to you. Even worse, being tired, I couldn't help myself, and wrote it in a ridiculously tight formal mode — quatrains of terse 5-syllable lines in abba rhyme scheme. https://rosefirerising.word...

Okay, since I had already used this prompt days ago, I did a different poem on a different name, but I had trouble naming the poem since I'd already used the most appropriate title. LOL! This is so bizarre! https://rosefirerising.word...

OMG, absolutely shocked by this prompt, because ... that is the poem I wrote for day 6! https://rosefirerising.word...

A poem about something that returns, twisted sideways. > https://rosefirerising.word...

Off prompt, but I woke up with this in my head. Maybe I'll do another later today, since I missed some while I was in the hospital last weekend. https://rosefirerising.word...

How about lots of bedrooms? https://rosefirerising.word...

Off prompt. Shekhinah Closes Her Eyes https://rosefirerising.word...

I missed a few days because I was in the hospital with a (mostly) dead phone battery, so this is off-prompt, sorry. Doing what I can. https://rosefirerising.word...

Re: Day Twenty-Two

pfanderson — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 22:08:59 -0000

On prompt. Figured since I've been writing Shekhinah poems, I should use a Hebraic idiom. Voilà! https://rosefirerising.word...

Love, love, love. Librarian here, guessing you are also?

Re: Day Twenty-One

pfanderson — Tue, 21 Apr 2020 22:56:37 -0000

On prompt. Oh, my, that was a surprise! I may do this again someday. It's a great way to get unstuck, or to go in unexpected directions. https://rosefirerising.word...

I'm a little uncomfortable that this one is written in the first person, but I couldn't find any way out of it. https://rosefirerising.word...

From the whimsical (yesterday) to the mundane. Or perhaps they were the reverse? https://rosefirerising.word...

Again, picking up on the featured resource more than the prompt. This seems just a bit silly, but it not quite as silly as the surface seems. https://rosefirerising.word...
