I am need a lesbian and today I'll be reading a poem by Howard who writes poems about her getting a lot of poems that resonate with women and that relate to women in which woman can't connect to the poems that Howard right praise poets and their pens by JB Howard dedicated to my 3030 Chrome priest daily poems in can bugs how they make me laugh and wants to answer then break my heart the next place how poets hold on to our first love and set of my mom now, please how we measure our child self let me wrap her arounds dances baby girl is resilient and I was sadness our riding heel at home I don't work and cafes even that I see you how we hold our memories up to line set an alarm called in palm of hand price of a rough and  poems sometimes that's all we need fire in the sheets price beatbo enjaz how much footsteps when I speak your poem out loud praise power of music and Mama play Nancy Wilson all night long crying behind a closed door praise how I roll a noob this week while my sick child laid on my lap because everyone needs to heal especially Mama's for me this poem two things and I think it's our kids to two different aspects and want this one poem I think it's hard kids first we as the readers should appreciate the poets and their poetry that they create like in the title Place poets and their pens we are acknowledging and appreciating The Poets but what do you mean by their pain is and their artwork the motion that the Poetry convey to the leaders and things she uses to be Howard uses the word pain as a way to talk about poem and procreation I also think that this poem is also mostly directed toward women especially women who are Mom and our poets because JB Howard Moore searight poems that are directed toward a woman and how does it go I'm supposed to pay to get into her 3030 Chrome and I'm pretty sure her 3:30 crew that were women open Chrome does this knowledge the 33rd who represents the national poetry month group that she participated in so I think that this poem also holds a very special connection with this that are moms at the same time throughout this poem I noticed various literary techniques being used one of them I noticed was an afro and repetition the constant use of the word praise in this poem at the beginning of each stanza made me realize how does yjp Howard wanted to convey to to the readers praise that we need to acknowledge the rider and also I noticed that whenever they would start with the word praise it was kind of mean like a new poem in a new emotion that poems can come babe I also so is that it was the repetition of the word mama and this kind of connects to what I was talking about how this poem was directed to Mom's and we can see that the reputation of mama mama kind of makes us want to remember our childhood and have knowledge our moms especially in the last verse this is mostly directed to the mom I also noticed that there was very asymmetry involved in this poem for example when it says praise be pop and Jazz how many footsteps when it speak your poems aloud basically telling us how poetry is like music and it has rhythm the use of pepper tabs my speaker phones allowed to put that be great Imaging to the reader and shows of how poems are supposed to run and connect and have a rhythm also known as other use personification to describe some of the action that poetry has for example it says I was Punk and I was sad Ms let our writing you writing can't necessarily heal but putting or creating writing help one heal and have closure about what they're feeling or at least get their emotions out another instance where I found personification was praised Our rough and  poems forms Canada's any beer over but I think with those word loose ages I think that it means like passion and my passion I mean maybe dramatic poems or like suspenseful poems a different type of motion that phone can convey which entrust the previous emotion about sadness inhaling talking about contest I also noticed that there was various antithesis used or like contradictions use during the all the poem a place where I parked and safe pieces being used was where in the verse that said praise power of music and mama who play Nancy Wilson all night long crying behind the closed door Nancy Wilson is a very energetic singer with joyful songs and Mama Penske Wilson all night long meaning she was very mean joyful and wanted to portray this paid for both 1010 and aesthetic emotion maybe her children but behind closed doors she was crying and very much sad and broken that's why it's an antithesis because they contradict with each other in each that but in a back-to-back stencil and two days I think it kind of relate to most moms I am primary caregiver to my little brother and I can relate to this verse because as moms we don't want to put this way or see that our children are seeing us cry or being worried I went to bed too early and be strong for them so they won't feel any worrying and right behind a closed door is playing true too many moms and very much true to myself as well they are also changing emotions which could be in antithesis in the first 2 versus the stances read how they make me laugh and wants to answer then break my heart the neck brace help with hold on to her first love and so, now I'm gone in front of the ones that sell gives us a consequence of Halloween emotion and makes us remember happy things happy memories ever been to the next 10 sub Anna said so that I can make this thing into those dark moments and make the reader filled the drawbridge or hopeless I would also need to touch base on the verge praise how we hold our memories up to light gentle and cooked in palm of hand here I seen that others using metaphor and imagery is well in order to super tasting somewhere bright and warm with that imagery synonym for I feel like it's the memories that is coming up the general and called in palm of hand describing the memories home they are nice memories and hold them very very much dearly and it holds a very special place in one's heart or this poem thing dad told Mary is very much every verse and it kind of puts the reader in different emotions and makes us feel different some of the tone I felt that was being used by God to help him was consoling his comfort and the mental Deirdre Maddock suspenseful content and a static and compassionate when I first read this poem I really I don't even know how many times about the different ways a poem can convey different in motion and it can be transmitted to the reader plus to get free reading and rereading him it'll talk about moms and it was a poem relating to Mom's as well and which brings me to my portal my favorite part of this poem and something I would like to close off my podcast with is the last answer because everyone needs to heal especially mama it shows how moms are very strong strong especially how JP Howard portrays them as it gives them a very very strong it's a face of a strong people because they I did feeling a type A B someone who they are and for the safety of their kids to protect them and especially that this poem is dedicated to the 30-30 crew would probably miss her mom's and they created problems every day and this is a very stressful job getting pain every day because not you run out of ideas and emotions and mrs. Compton love and life happens I think of the last answer because of how she might have felt everything writing a poem and she wants to praise everyone in the Dirty Thirty crew the more the moms because they have more of a job in the highest household and trying to take care of the children if I think the speaker is JB Howard who is his mom audience name p is other mom's book and also be interested to any other person and Terry mom you for taking time out of your day to my podcast
