-i got to see some fierce! young women writers/poets (love my boys too)take the stage saturday afternoon. one poet, Pravda, went against the grain...and i was so proud...it took a lot of guts. they all make me want to be better writers
-BFran had a MUCH NEEDED poetic house party saturday night...for so many reasons. the people, the words, the love, the laughs, the quiet moments, the love, the poetic-hood, the love, the family, the power, the tears, alllll of it! good food for the soul
-you returned just to experience your first house party, hope you enjoyed it and the shotguns too lol..and thanks for allowing him to return
-some of the fam had a road trip to killeen, not a long trip...but a much needed road trip...it was the fact we did so...next time there will be more. the memories of past and laughters were like WOW! yeah...real nice
-we witness the birth of yet another Tx slam team...and MAN! was it a Fight! There were some great words, and some HUH??? words lol, but each poet brought it indeed. Shake....amazing...he is becoming one of my favorite tx poets!
-i came home to open arms and kisses...what more could one tired mom and woman want...not a damn thing!

My Beautiful Son's Creativity...
yeah i could kill him sometimes lol, but this was truly creative...the poem/rap written in the bday card he gave me:
You're always gonna be COOL.
Your pen is your TOOL.
You'll always stay with FAMILY.
And you pose AWESOMELY.
You always have something pretty hanging form your EAR.
You're always going to be pretty, but you're still turning 40 next YEAR!
i like how he capitalize the rhyming words lol.
