A Queer Poem a Day

A June Poetry Challenge in Celebration of Pride Month

Hey y’all! I’m doing another Instagram poetry challenge this month. My goal is to write a queer poem a day in celebration of Pride Month. You can follow along on my Instagram account @Holly__Lyn. I started this for fun, as a way to process my feelings about Pride Month and what it means to me, so I hope you enjoy reading along.

Love is love, y’all. Let’s make the world full of glitter and rainbows.

Day 1

We
kissed
like
friends
and I’m still
not sure I know
the difference when
it comes to women

Day 2

You are perfect
Just the way you are
I wouldn’t change
A single color

Day 3

Our bodies
do not
define us
our hearts
and their
love
are what
matters

Day 4

I want
to hold
you
outside
I want
to feel
you
wild

Day 5

We’ve spent
enough time
underground
like monsters…
