Poetry Playlist #1

Hi, Everyone!
The first week for Poetry Playlist is in delight with two poems from Franny Choi, and two others from Kaveh Akbar and Jennifer Chang. I also went back to Sarah Kay's Jellyfish which always —Always gives me butterflies. :D

Here is the list, and links. Enjoy!

1. Weight, by Franny Choi
2. The Mantis Shrimp Speaks, by Franny Choi
3. Jellyfish, by Sarah Kay
4. The Winter's Wife, by Jennifer Chang
5. I Wouldn't Even Know What to Do with a Third Chance, by Kaveh Akbar

"I lost count after twenty-two. The motions became fluid, almost memorized. As day began to sink and pink and orange began to creep their way into the crystal of afternoon sky, seeping like ink into the ocean around my ankles, I grew weary" 

- Jellyfish, by Sarah Kay
