Poetry is Art
Till Lemons Fall, my poetry book about my past I finally finished writing it, after my 4th draft. Now it'll be seen by the eyes a wonderful friend to edit it. I'm so excited for this book it's a long time coming! I really hope it will bring answers to the people who ask me, why do you stay in an abusive relationship? This book is my personal answer.
Here is the opening poem of my book, I hope you all enjoy how much I put into this book that was 15 years in the making.

Let’s Be Honest
Written by Debra Slonim
Swinging through
The mid-section
Of Lapalma ave
I'm reeling
From
THE LIST:
Stacked,
Unlabeled,
Packages,
Building up
And getting bagged,
Before I can check them
A mental
Kaleidoscope
Of extra
Non important
Details,
Rising into a
Flutter
Bits of knowledge
Bursting in the form
Of expanding wings
Stability
With
Wings
Is
Tricky
They do not open
With soft touch
Or
Even
Repetition
They open
When
You
Are
honest
Honest
HONEST
