Today is National Poetry Day! I actually had no clue until #NationalPoetryDay rolled through my Instagram feed. Yo. Once I saw the tag, I decided to go through some archives and put up a few tangents of mine. Let me tell you this, when you're a Poet, to go back through FIVE YEARS of poetry? It ain't easy.
