Welcome to class, students. Today I’m going to drop some knowledge on you about National Poetry Month. <— There it is. Read it.
Throughout the month of April, I am going to revise some of my favorite poems and dedicate them to the people in my life. Today’s piece is inspired by the incomparable Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise,” and has been re-written for the father of my children. He is also my husband which works out well because I don’t have enough time to write two poems.
<Clearing my throat>
I burp like a dude
Don’t close the door when I pee
Impossible when I’m in a mood
Still, you love me.
Silverware in the dishwasher must be organized
You know I am 50 shades of crazy
PMS leaves us both traumatized
Still, you love me.
I live on my laptop
You’re kind to just let me be
Once I start, I just can’t stop
Still, you love me.
Dark circles under my eyes
Not as vibrant as when I was twenty
Jiggly thighs
Still, you love me.
Don’t like the word no
Sometimes speak critically
I can be a real shit show
Still, you love me.
Me and cooking, not so much
Kids and work can consume me
With just a sweet touch, I know
Still, you love me.
I forget to water plants
Been slacking on the laundry
Never got around to ironing your pants
Still, you love me.
Can’t always put us first
You understand whole-heartedly
Don’t make me feel like I’m the worst
Still, you love me.
I won’t pick up the dog poo
I tell jokes only I think are funny
You hold me to our “I do’s”
Still, you love me.
Absolutely love! The perfect amount of hilarity with the added bonus of some real love sprinkled in;)

house. “I don’t do that many isolation movements, like single joint stuff,” Gunnar says.
With the BIG BROTHER cameras surrounding him
at all times, he is quite nervous about his nose-picking
habit.
