TILL LIFE DO WE STAY

By Tierra Montgomery

This project covers topics such as health, nature, death, and culture. The inspiration for these poems came from a recent point in the writer’s personal life where the writer needed to reflect more on how life’s experiences shaped their viewpoint. But at the same time, learning from others and writing from that perspective as well. These poems give a perspective of juggling life’s responsibilities, especially when one may not understand all of the pieces. “TEACH US HOW TO DANCE” opens up the way that anyone who has cared for someone can learn from that person’s experiences. It is like everyone has a book to their life and the pages are the experiences one goes through. “TILL LIFE DO WE STAY” grips on the scariness of what happens when someone has Hemophilia, a blood condition where the blood does not clot like it should. “OUR MOUTHS WHISPER” tells the tale of how our prayers sing to God and what that means to each person. “SING ME A LULLABY” reflects on how strong we have become after generations of people lived on this Earth. And in essence, the importance of how history has played a role in the structure of society today. The process behind these poems were eye-opening in nature because it helped the writer realize the impact of some of the experiences expressed in the poems. “7:30AM AND NOT A MINUTE MORE” discusses the impact of the deaths of the writer’s maternal grandparents.
