Back when I did a lot of journaling, poetry was a small piece of it. But I haven’t written a poem in so very long. Since middle school, or maybe high school, if I had to guess. And then this one just casually flowed out of me a few nights ago. Inspired by two resonant words that someone recently…

BLT, balsamic chicken, avocado, and feta salad
Yes, another salad. Because with everything going on, it is super important to make sure we are eating our fruits and veggies for proper nutrition!
