Dee,
I love this poem, the imagery, analogies to life. It paints a picture of life and how nature works. These are the poems that make you think about life and appreciate how rain is a good thing. -

Jamell CrouthersThe year 2020 was one to remember and it’s one that I’ll never forget. The year 2001 was also one of those years between graduating high school, starting college two and a half hours away from the towers that collapsed on my TV screen within the first week of school. But, let’s get back to 2020 and how my mental health wasn’t the greates…read more

I love this piece. It is so real. 2020 was so hard for so many. I was in Miami at the time. And the weather was a huge help. Being able to workout outside and go to the beach and just chill was such a privilege. So I totally understand why the move to Arizona made sense for you. You should be so proud of yourself for digging deep and doing…read more

Hannah, that was beautifully written. It made me think about my life a little and my experiences. Sometimes we can’t control other people’s actions but we can surely control our narrative and what we allow in our lives. Keep writing these great poems!

Wow Crystal, that’s a deep story and I’m sorry you deal with this. I wish your PCP was more mindful of the medication you were taking and was willing to send you to a doctor who could help you better. I know it must be hard to manage something that you can’t control. I’m glad you don’t let it affect your daily life and I wish you happiness, health…read more

The world is getting smaller Lauren. Not only have we worked for the same companies but I was born and grew up in the Bronx for a short time in my life. Your grandfather may have known my great grandfather and possibly my grandparents. Beautifully written letter to your grandfather, makes me think of my grandparents myself. You’re surely making…read more

Wow, this was deep and made me reflect back on some experiences in my life. The line of having butterflies turn into moths was great! Love this piece, it makes you think.

Jamell CrouthersJamell,
From a young age, you were gifted and special and you didn’t even know it. At age 13, you wrote your first poem. While it was writing that rhymed, the one thing you didn’t know was that it was going to take you to places you never thought.
You spent your life loving sports, having a passion for it like no other. From basketball to foo…read more

Jamell CrouthersThe man understands life is a long road,
Driving down the highway to different paths.
Coming across forks in the road and having to make decisions,
Which road is the right one to take on our journey.
The journey is getting to where we want to be,
And sometimes we have to go a different route than others.
The roads will be full of bumps and…read more-
I love the analogy and I love how you ended it “Sometimes the journey is longer than we expect it to be.
As long as we are able to keep driving the car,
Staying focused will allow us to embark on a long journey to greatness.” I fell like at some point or another we have all felt this and needed to hear this message. Thank you for sharing. <3 Lauren-

Jamell CrouthersIn 2020, when the world came to a complete stop and everyone was home and couldn’t do much, there was a lot of reflection and goal setting for me. I was 37 years old and still living with my mother and knew it was time to leave the nest.
Living in New York was not ideal for me (where I’m from and grew up) and I wanted to move to the west coa…read more
