Yep. I missed yesterday’s prompt. It was too crazy busy…I’ll get to it!
Write a free-verse poem using only the letters in your full name. If you’re married and take your spouse’s surname, you may want to include this name or create a poem with your maiden name, or both. I think what matters here is that you use the names with which you most identify.
(Inspired by Julie Larios.)

she serves ruins
she runs in blue blame
rains burn dead lies
she shields blares
head buried in shame
she names her shade
is she a sun?
made in shade?
she remains alive in dreams

That was good challenge!
