The Wordsmith's Forge

 Nature walk.

This poem came out of the May 15, 2018 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from zeeth_kyrah, sporky_rat, and Anonymous. It also fills the "tough" square in my 5-1-18 General card for the Pro Wrestling Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by Soupshue. It belongs to the Officer Pink thread of the Polychrome Heroics series.

Warning: This poem is intense. Highlight to read the warnings, some of which are spoilers. It features a family visit with emotionally complex reactions, Uncle Fang asking Turq about past abuse, talk about Shaolin Kung Fu, Turq writing out and illustrating as much as he can, multiple emotional breakdowns, lots of crying, and other challenges. If these are sensitive issues for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before reading onward.

Warning: This poem contains intense and controversial issues. Highlight to read the warnings, some of which are spoilers. It includes mention of a mother's death, extremely strained father-daughter relationship, a thrice-exceptional child (blind, gifted, with superpowers), intolerance, ethnic issues, failure to accommodate special needs, trial separation, struggling to find a suitable foster family, and other challenges. If these are touchy topics for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before moving onward.
