I’ve forgotten
so many things.
I’ve forgotten
algebraic theorems
and geometric equations.
I’ve forgotten how
to say “eleven”
in Spanish and
where I laid my phone.
I’ve forgotten
what I did on my
eighteenth birthday
and how to
do a cartwheel.
I’ve forgotten
where I put
my keys and
how it felt to
love before you.

An Ohio native, the author wrote her first poem in the fourth grade. It was entitled Daffodils. At that time, she fell in love with the form. She wrote through the angst of adolescence and into the beauties and dissonance of adulthood. She has of late begun to write flash fiction. It speaks to her as another short form. Her first chapbook, Lyrical Legacy, was published in 2021. She has also been included in several anthologies. All are available on Amazon.
