She wanted to bare her essence, her soul

Embracing her truth before setting it free into the world

Cauterizing the cuts those words caused by her clutching them so desperately tight

Releasing them would allow so much healing to enter

Except she just couldn’t do it.  She screamed as she hugged them tighter

Couldn’t care less what you think Miss Know It All!

Banana (an acrostic poem)

 

Be tropical, my friends, and call on Saint Belafonte

Now I know you find me appealing

Ah, but I can be slippery when I’m underfoot

Now come, Mr. Tallyman

And tally me, ‘cause daylight come and I want to go home

Yes (an acrostic poem)

You know you can do it

Even when you doubt yourself

So long as you allow yourself to say…
