Oh no! What a sad story. What a sad, poignant poem. We are so affected by People’s reaction to our art. All through our lives to a certain extent. But as children, these moments hit so hard. Hugs, Cesca xx
Yes. My parents, although good people, neither saw nor were supporting of my creativity. I think that's why I didn't flower until my seventies, after both parents were gone. But now,
What a beautiful poem! I’m a late bloomer too, or maybe a pizzicato bloomer! I have bloomed creatively and then slept for decades, only to bloom again with a sudden unexpected burst of poetry. I am releasing a poetry book in a few weeks . I am 63 🤗❤️ Hugs, Amrita! Keep on blooming. Cesca xx
My first collection, strange grace—the ending season just came out, and my second, every riven thing, comes out in late May. I turn 80 this year. Apparently, can’t stop the blooming, now! Please announce when your collection comes out. (Since 70, I’ve also published a memoir and a three-novel trilogy)

Dear Cesca,
Yes. My parents, although good people, neither saw nor were supporting of my creativity. I think that's why I didn't flower until my seventies, after both parents were gone. But now,
late-blooming flower
"you’re a late bloomer"
followed by a sigh
mom’s prognosis
in my early years
a storm of inspiration
in my downstream decades
did she see what is true,
or in saying, make it so?
like Mexican bush sage
hundreds of soft
purple fronds
with tiny white flowers
blossoming near winter
I, too, am a riot
of ingenuity and color
blooming late,
blooming long
with love,
Amrita
