Bio
Recently accepted to Lancaster University's Creative Writing PHD program (UK). I am doing things I never thought I would--not moving internationally--but asking people for money. My days are filled with being a mom, writing, teaching, living. By night I am my biggest fund raising advocate; completing scholarship entries to scholarships I'm not even sure are real; researching charities that fund education; and inquiring about resources and then asking for them. 40 really is liberating. Yvonne Battle-Felton is a graduate of Johns Hopkins MA in Writing program and a full-time-part-time instructor of English and Creative Writing at CCBC, AACC and UMUC. She resides in Maryland where she is in a perpetual state of shock over the intimacy of her personal essays and seriously considering pseudonyms.

There Are Words 1971

Rate: 0 Flag

They say there is a word for everything.

By they

I mean me.

There are some who still believe it.

By some

I mean those who still endeavor to transcribe teardrops

Those not yet fluent in goodbye.

There are words.

One thousand intricate ways to say goodbye.

There are some who live

in laughter

in music

in art 

in moments

dying too soon

too young

too…

By some

I mean you
