MADE

Badu, on a bedcover I made (crochet)

Made: a tiny poem on the satisfaction and fun of creating

 

Look what I made!

What do you think?

How do you like it?

Would you give it a grade?

 

And if you did

Would the grade be good?

And if it wasn’t

Would I think that it should?

 

Would it affect me

Stop me making more?

Would I feel stifled

Like I have in the past?

 Right now I’m so happy

Creating all these things

Writing these poems

Has given me wings

 

My words give me freedom

To go anywhere

To be anybody

Live my own love affair.
