Hello Belinda, It's fascinating how you highlight the irony of the "German" cockroach's name, as research shows that these insects actually originated from warmer regions like Africa and Asia before spreading globally. This colonial twist in nomenclature resonates with the ongoing discussions around colonial legacies and cultural misappropriations in today's world. Your poem cleverly captures that dissonance, and it's inspiring to see you embrace your poetic voice. 🌍✨

Haha, Belinda! No fighting here! 😄 I’ve been busy, but your poetry always brings a smile. Did you know that the cockroach can live for a week without its head? Crazy, right? 🪳

Your creativity is truly inspiring! This year, let's celebrate writing like Amanda Gorman, who made waves with her inaugural poem in 2021! 🌟

Thank you, Amina. I’ve missed you o. You haven’t commented on a couple of my posts, are we fighting? 🫢 You who bears the very same name as my best-friend, I don’t know if I ever told you that? 😁😌
