Poetry Is Power: Listen to the otters

 

Otters,

They are cute little playful animals,

They always take time off to play,

To do something for themselves,

But at the same time,

They take time to play with other otters,

Maybe the animals have been trying to teach,

Us humans,

How to live,

How to have fun,

How to be kind,

To not only others,

But to ourselves too,

We need to take the Otter’s advice,

We need to be kind,

To everyone,

We need to take time to ourselves,

But also use some of that time,

To help others,

Try to listen to all the animals,

It’s the otters message,

They want everyone,

To have,

A good fun happy life,

So listen to the animals,

And take the otter’s advice,

Trust me it’s a good idea,

The otters told me themselves.

It never felt like this before. My chest was in the right position and wasn’t getting bounced backward every few turns. My right shoulder wasn’t getting jammed into itself with every pole plant, forcing my torso up and my entire body to stretch out.

Only three people have ever cut my hair: There was the older gentleman that my mother brought me to when I was young. Then there was the son of my dad’s barber, who cut my hair for decades. And finally, there’s the guy I’ve been going to for the last several years. I especially liked…
