Growing up, my mother used to tell me to "Share my talents." My poetry is my gift to share. Please feel free to use any of my poetry, however, I ask three things in return:
- Please acknowledge "Asherah" as the author and provide the following link: fumingsofafeistyfeminist.weebly.com
- Please use only one poem at a time. No publishing of more than one of my poems at a time. All copyrights of my poetry remain mine.
- Make a donation. The following is a list of suggested organizations related to the political topics I write about. If you want to use a poem related to the topic of "War", please reference the list of organizations under "War" and make a donation to one of them. Together we can "make some waves" to make a difference.
