Image
Wednesday’s Poetry Prompt: Write a purpose poem. The Purpose of a Grandmother The purpose of a grandmother  is to be: A grand mother; the first oldest best friend to her children’s children. A gifter of unconditional love from the beginning of a lifetime until the end. A magician of whimsical adventures and wonders. A first aider in overcoming adversities in life. A classic storyteller, full of hope and wisdom. A historian of tradition and pastimes for a true sense of identity, belonging and connection. A grade A physician that heals the wounds of the soul and the flesh of her flesh. A treasure chest full of pearls of wisdom; a colorless diamond with a golden heart. A gardener of life, forever sowing seeds- nursing her family tree. A chef that can stir joy, fill bellies with soul food and laughter;  a heart of joy; and a face with a smile even when she is  no longer around. 💜D'ElegantOne

Wednesday's Poetry Prompt: deciduous lover

Image
Wednesday’s Poetry Prompt: Write an autumn poem. deciduous lover i feel like stevie wonder- i never dreamed you’d leave this summer . i’d thought you’d be a broadleaf evergreen to the earth of my heart. i’d thought we’d plant, spring love through another season minus an unforeseen change of hearts. i’d thought  we’d naturally shed the old us for something new. now that you’re gone, I fall back & you've fallen off too. prematurely, i’d thought it’d be cold & dry, recognizing your autumn before mine- i'm not even triggered by your condensed light & compressed air ‘cause i’d conserved enough potential energy for me to survive. 💜D'ElegantOne

Wednesday’s Poetry Prompt: Twice As Good

Image
Wednesday's Poetry Prompt: Write a competitive poem.   Twice As Good As long as I bounce my own ball in my court, I never want to be twice as good to anyone that couldn't recognize me just like they didn't recognize my ancestors; knowingly knowing all of the cards in the hands of America will always be against someone like me. STRIKE ONE because I’m born female There are men and women that will say I shouldn’t be flexing my femininity or own my own independence like the homegrown voluptuous curves that shape me naturally.   STRIKE TWO because I'm born a darker hue, unlike the mass majority, the lighter version receives no penalty for coaching the rest of the world to loathe the melanin I carry within.

When I, once and for all, only want to be as good  as me, myself and I get greater  between the silver lines of...
