Poem: Call to Action Posted on November 6, 2024 by Michelle Garren-Flye Call to ActionBy Michelle Garren-FlyeGuess it’s time to get strong again—I think I’ve really let myself go…but all the drips and torrential rainwill never make me slow.I’m up for this, I’m working out,strengthening for the work ahead;there’s no time to cry or pout.Just watch as my wings spread!Come on, come on and join me!Come here and take my hand;Nobody ever said this life is easyor that things will go as planned.A monster in charge who we disdain?Guess it’s time to get strong again. Be strong like the oak tree.

Poem: The Tiger Posted on September 2, 2021 by Michelle Garren-Flye A companion piece (or sequel?) to “Dead Dragon” The Tiger By Michelle Garren Flye There’s a tiger in my heart Pacing and guarding, Keeping me safe. He banished the dragon— The one you abandoned And left to its fate. I love my tiger. His growl seems to say, You got this, little one, I’m here to the end. You got this, you’re strong And you know it now. And I do know it, because— (You want to know why?) Not everyone can hold A tiger in her heart.
