Ode to Jicama by Juliette

Ode to Jicama*

 Jicama, oh jicama I love you so,
Jicama, oh jicama you're white like snow.

 Are you a vegetable or are you a root?
I'm falling for you, I need a parachute.

 Jicama, oh jicama you are so juicy, 
Jicama, oh jicama you make me loosey-goosey.

 How did you get to be so good?
And yet, you are still so misunderstood.

 Jicama, oh jicama you are so healthy,
Jicama, oh jicama you snuck up on me, you're stealthy.

 Jicama, oh jicama you give me vitamin C,
Jicama, oh Jicama you hold the key. 

 Jicama, oh jicama you make a great meal,
for jicama, oh jicama you are quite ideal.

 Juliette

December Poetry By Juliette  Cold sting of winter air Bites with frozen jaws at the Warmth of our small toes Made it out of clay And when it’s dry and ready Dreidel I shall play We wake up to that Lovely smell of Christmas pine And the early fog Snow fades beneath feet Snowflakes glide to eyelashes Cocoa burns young tongues Crisp rips of paper Bows torn off, smiles then brighten Makes a happy mess My dry, old hands soothe My very chapped lips that sting Looking for chapstick Holidays are done Appreciative of my gifts Leaving family  Gg

50-50 Day By Odessa

By Anonymous
50-50 Day is an international day discussing what it’s going to take to get to 50/50 between men and women in all aspects of society. 50-50 Day was started by my mom, Tiffany Shlain. 50-50 Day was at first just a twenty minute film, 50/50, on the past, present and future of women in power. It was released just weeks before the election, meant to welcome in the 1st female president of the US. However, after unexpected results in the 2016 presidential telection Shlain realized that this conversation was more important than ever… it made the film even more potent. Shlain decided to create 50-50 Day. Shlain had worked with this model previously with Character Day, which was shown at schools across the world including Mill Valley Middle School. 50-50 Day, which was on May 10th, had worldwide screenings of the film all over the world along with global discussion on gender equality as well as interviews with Rosie Rios, former Treasurer of the United States, Dolores Huerta, activist, Eva Lon...
