Many of you know that April is National Poetry Month which is a very significant time in the poetry world. During this month, many of us participate in something known as the 30/30 Challenge.

The 30/30 Challenge requires each participating poet to write at least one poem EVERY DAY in the month of April. This year, I decided to be a part of this challenge. And around day 5, I decided to give birth to the brain child that you have before you.

Those of you in the RAW SUGA' family that have been walking with me through this know it has been an interesting adventure. I’ve remembered some things, learned some things & embraced some things. As a whole, I’ve simply been living.

I want to thank each & every one of you who have been there…lingering between my words.

So this is for you. I give you A Taste of RAW SUGA’…

Most of us know this sound.

It’s the unsavory lullaby of

of a loved one on their way

to die.

But, like most songs written

on a heartache scale,

it will be remembered
