Be yourself. Be who you are.

Be. Just breathe. Be here now. Ask
Yourself, “Who am I wired up to
Be?” “Who do I admire and
Who can mentor me toward goals, maybe
You?” Breathe again. Just as you
Are becoming, you already are. Right now.

Golden Hinge poem based on “Be yourself. Be who you are.”
― from Fish In A Tree (p. 184) by Lynda Mullaly Hunt 

NaPoWriMo – Day 3

Usually I try a variety of poetry styles during National Poetry Writing Month, so I feel kind of bad that I have two blackout poems in a row.  I couldn’t help it.  They are such fun.  Moreover, I have made everyone near and dear to me read Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt.  Letting such a beautiful book evoke a poem was inevitable.
