Wednesday's Poetry Prompt: ways of the world 🌎

Wednesday's Poetry Prompt: Write a “(blank) the World” poem.

ways of the world

if it’s in your heart
feel it
and then correct me
if i’m wrong

is it the ways of the world
or the ways of humans 

imagine 24/7
substantial rotations
without a billion souls
no rules against God's 
length of greens
and widths of blues

no laws no wars no sins

               no lick backs no petty no shade

only the natural of the nature
narrating my floral growth
because it never attempted
to steal my spiritual focus
or kidnap me into temptation
for the desire of

             my flesh my eyes my pride of life

not even the time of the day will show deception to me

             every hour every minute every second

since my DOB was loyal to every breath of me

the sun 
always kissed me in the right places
from the heart of the day

the moon 
always shared its glow with a dance
in the heart of the night

and fire never burned me
only showed me how to spark a flame

and water never took the life of my blood
only birthed more life in me

and wind never tripped me off my feet
only kept me cool
when people on Earth
were tripping
making it feel too noxious and blistering
while trying to live free

Farewell 2025: My greatest loss and wins...

Image
Farewell 2025: My greatest loss and wins….   My greatest loss this year: (deep breath…sighs) was the death of my beloved sister-friend. If I looked like I lost my best friend, I did. Now, I know what it means to lose a best friend and sister in one. I lost the first person I felt comfortable calling her a big sister. A person I talked to everyday by call or text. I lost a person who taught me so many things: foster and maintain healthy relationships, setting boundaries, importance of grief therapy (after losing my father), the importance of financial stability/investing, understanding politics (even if you disliked it) and government. She was really the smartest woman I knew. I miss knowing what to expect in the next year, in politics and government because of her. She never failed. This year, she truly got it right again…about everyone in office. This loss was unexpected and painful. It was nothing compared to the many deaths of loved ones in the previous year(s). I w...

I'm A Growing Woman Intro

Welcome Readers, It is not an easy transition into a grown woman from a girl. But I manage. I’m succeeding my womanhood, individuality, and essence to make the best of what I call “my life”.   Everything is everything. I am everything but a lot of things are not me.   No, I am not the most perfect person in the world but I know who is: God.   Sometimes I seem to think that I am too much of a woman. Why? Because I bare and yield all good fruit that humanity should feed from, but not all human beings aim for the fresh, sweet fruit. I have yet to find the match to my peach. I can live without the superficial, and only require what’s deeply real I’m no short talker, but more of a big dreamer. I mean what I say and I say what I mean. I live by it; my words are heavily bonded to my heart….. I’m much of a lover with a substantial heart--- a heart that is teaching me to be kind, patient, and loving all over again----every day. At times, I think I need a new one, because I lo...

The Intermission of Development: Butterfly Ways

Image
        I thought of putting it down forever. The ink. The lead. Forever. Forever, I thought about not writing again. But I can’t stop. It is my niche. A home beyond comfort and solitude. My first love. My passion. My high. My pride. My freedom. How can I let go when my heart and my mind goes on? And the good thoughts keep coming along until I run out of paper… Then I thought…I thought…….. I thought of how each word painted my essence. I thought of how each word spoke my mind out loud to the world, for the world to understand me as: A black woman. An African-American. A legacy. A sister. A daughter. A friend. A lover. A fighter. A teacher. A student. A leader. A survivor. A queen. A dreamer. These words made me into the woman I am today. They built me. I am strong. I am beautiful. I am phenomenal because of the ink, the lead, the paper, a million good thoughts, and the mentality my creator birth me with. I've notice what I've became. And I am already...
