The Paradoxes of Sibling Love
About this poem
The poem is about the bittersweet and complex relationship between siblings. I’m from a large family. So, I try to describe the pain and heartache that can come from having a sibling can be delayed, but also how there are small victories and moments of joy in the relationship, like a "micro gain" or a fleeting "toothache". And that despite the challenges, there is a deep and lasting love that exists between siblings that can span years of both love and strife. more »
