Pacific Salt- Eunice Andrada
"Let this be the beginning of us... RISING."
Someone once asked me why I am so fond of poetry. Why should we trust poets? Poetry is raw. It is honest. There is nowhere to hide in poetry; the ugliest truths in situations are easily delivered.
I think that is what makes this poem so beautiful. It is passionate and invigorating. Andrada paints a vivid picture of the disasters our environment is receiving and the trouble it is causing in return. While her poem shows deep pain for our damaged environment, she also does a beautiful job of showing that we can overcome these challenges and RISE from the pain.
