Things I Wrote After the Storm – Hurricane Maria – Puerto Rico
So recently I posted stuff I wrote during the storm. This post I wrote AFTER. The stories are true and despite the stress in my writing, everything turned out fine. October 12, 2017: Don't get sick. Whatever you do, don't let yourself get sick. It's not a good time to get sick now. Hospitals have no power. They won't be…

6 Reasons Why Pokemon Go Rocks
People are hating like crazy about Pokemon Go. I don't really understand why everyone is so upset about a simple game. For those of you who are, let me explain why Pokemon Go rocks, and if you don't understand that, you just don't get it. It all started a long time ago with a cartoon that launched with a card…

The Thirsty Coochie ©2016 Maricel Jiménez
So I work in advertising, and every once in a while we get jobs about subjects that aren't always the most fun. But of course, I like to make it fun, so this poem was inspired by an account we've been working on. It's a treatment for menopause symptoms and well... What can I say, I was inspired. THE THIRSTY…

I'm sick and tired of seeing headlines that read something like: "How real women look", "This is how a real woman works out," "Real women have curves," etc. Well...

Some are skinny, some are fat, some are beautifully well-rounded, and none…

Momentos
Hay momentos de silencio... de sentirMomentos donde no caben las palabrasDonde las lágrimas valen mejor Hay momentos de sueñoCuando el letargo se mezcla con la melancolía de besos del antañoMomentos cuando la tinta busca el papel Hay momentos de euforiaDe risas inexplicablesY brillos compartidos...Momentos que bastan Hay momentos que quedanQue sólo esperan el recuerdo para revivirseHay momentos invisibles...Como ahora. © 2014 Maricel Jiménez Peña 1/21/2014

He was a slow walker, talker, teether, potty trainer,…

Crezco
Me doy cuenta de que crezcoCrezco como enredadera trepando los postesMe observo de arriba y crezco Crezco,Convirtiéndome en mujerDe la niña retengo la habilidad de soñarCon la mujer adquirí el dolor de la realidadLa Diosa me concede una sonrisaY piernas fuertes para bailar La barba del Viejo brillaPlateada bajo la luz de la lunaMe inunda de sus pensamientosAlimentando los míos Y crezco,Crezco porque no…
