My memories as an immigrant professional woman in Ottawa, Canada 47 years ago. A new life after having survived the liberal war of a new country Bangladesh on December 16, 1971.
I can talk circles around your
Petty and casually meandering brain.
Amuse you with stunning similes
And magnanimous metaphors.
But take these words and debase them;
There are no actions here…
No tangible essence,
Merely words on a page.
Background
Information
I started writing when I was very young, and I have saved just about every poem, thought or story I have ever written. My influences are so diverse and many...I love Shakespeare, e.e. cummings, Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein, Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Thomas Harris (who's books were not done justice to)...I communicate raw emotion...if it doesn't convey something important, I'd rather not write at all.
