My Super September Poetic Highlights and a New Poem

September is my favorite month because of course, I am a Virgo. During this month, I shared my work on several platforms. I am forever grateful to my family, friends and supporters. I'm always appreciative of feedback so please reply here or on the various links.

Here's the September journey:

• Poem Published on Poetry X Hunger

My poem, Fade Away, was published on the Poetry X Hunger's website. Poetry X Hunger's mission is to use poetry to raise awareness, compassion, and funding. Kindly leave a comment on the page with your feedback on my piece.

• National Spoken Word Awards (NSWA)

Thank you to the 270 persons who voted for me in the National Spoken Word Awards! Life is a journey. I want to inspire the world with my words. Being nominated is a feat in itself. I will continue to share my words in the hopes of inspiring the masses. Invest in what grows you!

• The P.O.E.T Radio Station

I shared my poem, De-Stress, on the P.O.E.T Radio Station's Voice Behind the Pen on September 9, 2024 for the NSWA Celebration. I was on from 1:28:35 until 1:33:55 and received feedback on my piece. On September 30, 2024, I shared Bob Marley Vibrations during another call-in show. I was on from 1:06:40 until 1:07:27.

• Pulse Poetry Magazine

I am so happy about the September issue of Pulse Poetry Magazine! I'm on pages 66 and 67, but please check out the other talented poets!

• Pulse of the Caribbean Podcast

Please check out my interview for the Pulse of the Caribbean Podcast: #30 HR, Farming, and Poetry: The Multifaceted Journey of Caribbean Poet Linette Rabsatt. Honestly, I never realized that I talked so much. During the interview, I shared Mama's Prayers.

• Micromance Magazine

My poem, Roses in Bloom, was published in Micromance Magazine! It's a little different from the pieces I usually share which are more focused on struggle, unity, nature, etc. This poem is for the "lover in you" because Micromance Magazine is all about love!

• Let's Poet

I performed during an online poetry event with Nita Chase and Let's Poet on September 28, 2024. I shared two pieces, Loving Me (12:15 to 13:36) and Love Above the Label (1:51:14 to 1:52:35).

• New Poem

Here's a poem to close out September:

Heartfelt

the race is not for the swift

but when God grants you a gift

be sure to use it wisely

and with his guidance

use it timely

because you should seek

to do better

you should work proudly

to honor your ancestors

because legacy is a true concept

remember our foreparents'

hard work and intellect

use that inspiration

to ensure that you leave the nation

in a better condition

that you met it in
