Congratulations to Eric Arnold of Raleigh! His original, untitled poem, about mothers won his mother tickets to see Floetry on July 12 at DPAC. Check out his poem below:
I am a single mother; Yes and I’m proud Don’t need a man to validate my Womanhood; I am blessed with a Beautiful child; it is hard to play The role of mother and father but it is god Who has kept me and my child’s head above the high water; The load gets heavy and sometimes I struggle to pay the bills But I would do anything to make sure me and my child are eating Full course meals; a mother and child that pray that god will Keep them safe; if the father is nowhere
