Poetry is not my usual medium of expression but if there is one thing I believe in, it's to try everything at least once. I set out to do this 21 day poetry challenge as a way to, well, challenge myself as a writer and artist. I had just given birth to my second child and was still in the haze of late night feeds and diaper changes and wanted to a way to stay connected with the artist in me. So, I joined the challenge and every night, for twenty one nights, when I hooked myself up to my breast pump, I wrote a poem. Whatever was on my mind that day. I don't know whether it was the breast pump or just the natural state of being a mom, but motherhood was a topic that most lingered in my mind. And so, I wrote about - This Motherloving Life.
