In another life

I think I was

The hero who

Created great films and spoke

To a great many people

Who embraced spicy food

And called out the fear mongers

In another life

I think

I wrote tearful poetry

That lasted beyond my time

I laughed at my wealth

And cherished only souls

In another life

I think, but

Who am I now?

Liyona is an “average joe” kind of writer who likes to think about ordinary things and then write them down. Ever since she can remember, she has been rhyming words and creating lyric poems. During her college years, she took a more serious bent toward writing and started to post on her blog (The Life and Times of a Quirky Character.) Currently, she resides on the East Coast of the United States just north of the country’s capital. Photo by Liyona.
