100 Poems: Poem 16 & 17
{Take the 100 Things challenge!}
Today is my grandmother's birthday. That got me to thinking about daughters. So of course I went looking for poems about daughters.
The first is For a Daughter Who Leaves by Janice Mirikitani. The title called to me.
The second is How I Got That Name by Marilyn Chin. The title also called to me because I was supposed to be named something completely different than what I have now.
