Premium Memberthis is why no one likes you

no one was saying anything to the bully.
some people were laughing uncomfortably
the woman was berating and belittling her six-year-old boy
my four-year-old daughter walked up to her and said,
“This is why no one likes you. You are mean and you are a bully.”
the woman burst into tears and ran home.
Another mother and I made eye contact.

THE FINEST GIRL IN MY STREET

There's this fine girl
In my street 
She said I'm very sweet 
She licks me like ice cream 
When the play starts 
She gives me high screams.

Her body shape 
Just like the coca cola bottle 
She said she likes my muscles 
She likes the way I grab her
She got the best styles and wine 
When we

Premium MemberBy the Streetlamp

It fills space with sense of grace.
Vitality curved in stone.
Sips of serendipity,
linger on as sediment—
long after applause dispels
likes into cadent memoirs.
Mellow in contemplation!
Jelly-set in sentiment!

Premium Membershe likes herself now

she has a rainbow disposition
personality of a confident woman
her ideas are eclectic and electric
she likes herself now

alone but not lonely
reflecting and reflective
brilliant mind, sharp theories
she likes herself now

she needs no one’s approval
standing on her convictions
developing her self-fulfilling intensity
she likes herself now

silence is her friend
she leans into it, gleaning spiritual favor
her guides are proud of her
she

Premium MemberOne Who Likes Honey

one who likes honey
sweetness whispered
   whiff of wetness
portent of shadows
                     sleeping
        off the cold
    tundra
to utter…to utter

Clicks


Compulsions to create governed by fear and perpetual query,
Where affirmations are fossil fuels, scarce and costly.
Approval? Qualified? I Dangle upside-down, tethered to a rope questions.
Hovering over a pit of acceptance with a bloated cranium.

A pause in their scroll…
The press of a gesture nibbles away the rejuvenating thread.
How can a dozen feel worse than none? 
These

Premium Membershe who likes animals

She was a proud Osage who loved her tribe, her family and her skunk.
He had adopted her when he was a baby; he loved her so….
Will he spray me? Potential suiters asked, a bit afraid of this fluff ball.
Only if he does not like you, Girl who Loves Animals replied.

Her father sat at the edge

He likes rain

Rain comes, rain goes; rain’s destructive, you never know.
She asked the people around, why they like the rain.
They said, "It signifies love, power, serenity,
And washes away the false self of one."
"We love rain, for no one can see us crying in it."
Rain is a time when memories are refreshed,
For some, it’s the first; for others,

Premium Membermy son told me he likes Beyonce's new song, 16 cabbages

it is good
and he's got imaginary games of cricket
being played in his head
he tells me the score
and what the pitch is like
in his head

in an attempt to find that innocence again
i started doing the same
so that when i'm at work
i'm not really there
but on that cricket pitch
in my head

i told my friend about it
he told

Premium MemberPanda Who Likes Boxing Ring

Let’s throw him in the boxing ring and see what he does.
Come on! You know him, I warned them about our cousin Fuzz.
Fuzz ran out and hugged each opponent and gave some a kiss.
He won’t do at all! Wailed the sports hander, a boxer named Miss.

With the urge to become better

Premium MemberShe Likes To Beautify

She liked to beautify and decorate
Arrived at school early, never ever late.
We liked her ornaments and trims and such.
I loved her gaudy garnishes, I mean very much.
