Best Visionarywoman Poems


Coochie Committee

I know that you have seen them walking,
and I know that you have heard them talking,
'bout all thoses rhymes and reasons,
the birds and bees and,
sometimes I can't understand,
how that they roll them eyes,
and stomp their feet,
smacking their lips, in the summer heat.

See they belong to a prestious club,
where none of the fellas get no love.
They are the coochie committee,
secretly meeting in our towns and cities.

I tried to infiltrate them,
by going out on a date,
when I nearly met my fate,
only to find out that my sister, mother,grandma,
and aunt, all participate.

They all were up in arms,
One lady shouted,
"sound the alarm!!!"
they planned to do this man some bodily harm.

I ran as fast as i could, 
back to my neighborhood.
called upon my brethern there,
but they couldn't relate, 
as I tried to explain this place, 
bout the coochie committee,
Some brothas, didn't  care.

So I just hold my toungue,
whenever a woman is around,
contemplating what will go down,
cause you never know,
the power a woman has,
and if she  posseses a pass,
with the coochie committee,
as matter of fact,
It always seems to,
have her back!!!!

Premium Member Half In, Half Out

Half in, Half out
Half centered 
From inside and from without.

This ia a Woman that really knows
What she’s all about.

She is the Woman 
That rises from inside
That holds herself sacred
She protects her virgin soul
She who finds her strength within.

She is the one
Who knows she’ll eventually win.

It is she
Who as she watches
The oceans rising tides
Knows she can rise above
And turn her face to the rising sun
And all the happiness in life.

She turns away from darkness
From the settings of the sun
She only wants to bathe in light
And keep the evil shadows at bay
She protect her very essence
She keeps her demons on the run.

Half in, Half out
Half centered 
From inside and from without

She really knows
What she’s all about.
