My name is Awilda Aponte. It will be 5 years since I've started with Geocities and I still draw a little, play a little guitar and write a lot of poetry. This site is for all of us poets, who are waiting for the world to realize our talents. And until then, let's give each other hope, inspiration and our creative poetry.
"Yes, I am Boricua"
Yes, I am Boricua
and WHAT!
What does that mean to you?
I work, dream
Love, sleep
just like you do
Yes, I am Boricua
I wear my head up high
with my Flag's Pride
on my shirt, socks
and
Behind
Yes, I am Boricua
and I don't care
if you think it's unfair
for I am
100% Puerto Ricen
Nuyarican, Boricua and

Home- grown, juicy- beefy
100% AmericaNA
Strong and Proud
I say
Out loud
Si
Yo Soy
Boricua!

We have no right to give up on a talent which was given as a gift. We have no right to hide it for then it was given in vain..We must sing, dance, write and cry without embarrassment and without pride...
