Best Comb Out Poems

from owned to dethroned
you led me
from queen to unseen
you hid me
once crowned to now bound
you kept me

absorbed to derobed
you left me
a spectacle to be gawked at
you jeered me

from diamond to dust
you threw me
once devoid of lust
you spurned me

and yet, here I am
  naked

My hair fills the circumference of itself
And takes up space with little help
It goes the only way it knows
In tightly bound cornrows 

In church the preacher talks about my hair
To entertain everyone there
Saying 'comb out your unchristian naps!'
Someone says 'Amen' and claps

I cannot change the...

I was contacted months ago by a person named Lauren Godly. She's a media student, and she asked me if she could turn my poem, Adored to Abhorred into a video. It's finally been completed. It's such a wonderful feeling when you know that your...

Or  “Repent, Sinner”


You think you so smart
An’ everyone else obtuse
You always workin’ some angle
And bettin’ you’ll never lose
But you’re all in a tangle
Caught in a triangle
Between wants and needs
And what’s real

You think you
Got it made
But yo’ logic is skewed
Yo’ best plans
Destined to come unglued

You...

I’m chopping it off
All of it, you hear?
This long black hair
Down past the middle of my waist
Sleek and shiny with 
Past defects and 
Too many wasted bottles of shampoo
Trying to cleanse myself of my mistakes

It doesn’t work
It doesn’t work

Split ends that rise 
To corrupt my...

Mark my word...
Das führer Donald Trump will return with a vengeance

Trump wracked up an impressive 
$122.00 million war chest
accumulating $82.00 million
merely proffering impish grin
between January and June of 2021;
now he sets his sites and will most likely aim
to garner coveted commander in chief come 2024,

DRAGON ZODIAC  ZONES

If not for this contest
I would not have comb out astrology
But, I wanted to please Nette
So, I sat down, investigate my Zodiac sign.

Water dragon, that is me!
My daughter calls me “rooster cuts off in its head!”
Fits the character of the dragon:
Full of...

The glory of America, 
now heats up
with agitation poised 
to strike on the brink
sans legislation incites humiliation,
which goads desecration
 
as fete accompli chink
in armor of Democratic rubric, 
constituting capitalistic
ethic, generic iconoclastic, 
and jingoistic logic,
nor budging an inch 

when mandating masses 
swallow his drink
what huff huck...

Why can I not write?
I am overwhelmed	
By the minutiae of everyday life!
Dawn comes, and I awake, but no!
I pull the covers over my head
And close my eyes tightly
Against the coming day.
I am not ready yet!
When I can avoid it no longer
I sit up and dress,...

I’m sad to see you going any time this year,
after those years that we’ve been together;
we’ve formed relationships in various settings
like a treasure trove in human understanding.

  It’s a hybrid of sorts, an enriching experience,
  a victory that sounds like an interaction;

There was a young girl who danced with her cat,
but she just wanted to comb out a matte;
they would whirl, swirl, twirl and spin,
a contest neither would win;
exhausted-   on the floor they lay quite flat !
