Mac and cheese lover!
Thank you for posting these. I'm not usually a fan of poetry, but these were wonderful and heart-wrenching.
You're welcome :-) I'd just gotten done teaching Poetry Writing, so I figured I'd pick 10 poems. If you're ever curious about my writing, check out my author site: https://shaindelbeers.com . I hope you see something there you like, too!
