Will you celebrate with me? It's small news in a hectic world... I've just won a prize for a poem I forgot entering into a competition! It was rejected by a dream publication but could now win 1st, 2nd or 3rd prize. My lesson again: Never Give Up. 🎉

"I wanted to show how family connections strengthen regardless of outside pressure. No matter the climate, the people, or the distance, I like to think we can always find home in the life around us." - Andrea Figueroa-Irizarry baltimorereview.org/summer_2…

The moon is like a scimitar,
A little silver scimitar,
A-drifting down the sky.
And near beside it is a star,
A timid twinkling golden star,
That watches like an eye.
