cups in the cupboard

in order to become,

I have to first exist—

like

flowers,

beside the lake, that

insist on growing,

even though

we dub them

weeds.

About the Poet

Clarissa R. Sutton starting writing at a very young age and never stopped. For her, poetry is a way to express the inexpressible, through metaphor and observation of the world around her.

When she’s not writing, Clarissa can be found in nature, daydreaming about a different project than the one she should be working on, or getting her naughty cat out of places he shouldn't be.
