Imelda

by Alex Penuelas   Jul 12, 2017


I reminisce in
All of the times
That i would take you out
To the hospital,
To appointments,
To grow grocery shopping,
Every single time that
I don't have to go to work.

And it gives me
Great pleasure to do this
So that you don't have
To ride on the bus for
2-3 hours a day
Just to do your
Daily activities.

I love the
Pupusas that you make
Every Friday night
When I come back
From work,
And you smile as I
Gorge on those
Delicious cheesy tortillas.

I love how
Much you care for me
Every day that you see me,
And I will not trade you
For anyone else
In the whole world.

You are like a
Second mother to me,
Even though you and I
Are not at all
Related by blood,
But I love you with
Every fiber in my being.

    Hi! I really enjoyed reading your poetry. Your words create such strong emotions, but I felt they could become even more powerful with visuals.

    I’m a freelance artist with 3 years of experience, and I can turn the feelings and imagery in your poems into illustrations so readers can actually see the words come to life. We could even start with one poem or a few stanzas as a small project.

    I’d also love to share a few ideas on how visuals could help you reach a wider audience and create another way to benefit from your poetry.

    If you’re interested, feel free to reach me here:
