Day 4 of The 100 Day Poetry Project

 Day 4 of The 100 Day Poetry Project.

This is a rough draft - very rough - of A Tornado in the Kitchen.
It's not my best first draft. Sometimes a poem comes in one draft and sometimes it takes 10 drafts to get it right and sometimes a poem is never done.
It's so hard to share your words with the world. I'm glad I'm doing this project and I'm hoping to let go of wanting perfection and just going with my gut.

I used to call my kids tornados because they would always leave a wake of debris but I've come to realize that I'm a tornado too.

What would a tornado in your kitchen look like?
