Reading the Selected Poems of Claude McKay (found on Everand). Some of them are surprisingly uncodedly #gay for 1912.
And I made some Jamaican cornmeal porridge from here: https://www.jamaican-recipes.com/jamaicanporridge.html #FoodandLit #Jamaica It's flavoured with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. I poured coconut milk over it.

Texreader You make porridge sounds delicious. How was it? 4mo
Catsandbooks Oh yum!! 🇯🇲 4mo
Dilara @Texreader It was very nice! It couldn't not be, really, given the ingredients 😁
I'll definitely make it again.

Prompt: Fairy

I love the description of snow flakes in the poem. There is one more verse to this. You can read the whole poem here: https://poets.org/poem/snow-fairy

#PoetryMatters. That last line would perfectly exemplify #Grace under pressure.
