A celebration of my favorite Medium Poet, DaShawn Dilworth.

Dear DaShawn,

Your poetry tickles my mind and cuddles my heart. Your creativity brings me joy.

It was your Coffee Grounds, poem that hit me with a POW!

Your metaphorical play on the noun coffee grounds, flipped into action, connection, and life, was astounding.
