A Collection

MARYELLEN TIGHE

Rachel and I were discussing how much we appreciate our female friends, and we had a goal of writing more poetry this year, so this is how these two ideas came together for me.

From skinned knees to class

from soccer to grad school and

weddings, growing up.

Promise to never

play “Jai Ho!” again. Though, I

miss the dinosaurs.

Have you considered

watching The Golden Compass

while in Baltimore?

Hurricane-zone life:

sun, beaches, cruise, everglades,

evacuations.

Science fiction and

writing. The formation of

the first planets, stars.

Starting with bikes to

origami, hikes. Sharing

stories, patterns, time.
