My son started performing poetry when he was just 13 so instead of cheering at ball games, I found myself 👏 at poetry slams for young people. I remember thinking, after a clearly still "developing" poet finished her brave performance - these kids are not poets because they're better at poetry than other kids, they're poets because... well, there they are, writing and performing their hearts out. That was such a lesson. 💕
