So…I recorded myself reading a poem I wrote about my blog. Not sure how I feel about this, but it was fun either way!
Pelt (by Ashley Padilla 2016)
Renegade salt and PEPPER shaker
Born to wield an untidy union
Shackled among thieves of ingenuity
Their escape will result in reciprocity
Do NOT deny an essential burgeoning
Yet accept a prophet of seasons CHANGE
Forcing alum to make a transition
Resulting in leaves that resemble mange
Their chains of association in culture
Leave falling wakes of quaking minds
From barn to stable they are bound together
That salt and pepper shaker of time
