Yes officer
A black boy stands in front of a mirror
Practicing how to address an officer
"Yes officer"
I promise I'm good
I won't cause no trouble just because I'm from the hood
I won't make a noise
I won't make a sound
I'll make sure to leave the hood of my hoodie down
No frown on my face
You dont

Um-Yes
And then- "I looked at something so unbelievably beautiful, so very attractive in every possible way that I just completely fell into or under some kind of freakish and magical wonderful spell. I was over-taken by her classy style, her sassy sass, and her gorgeous, and her perfectly shaped, fit to a T... Red hot

oh yes i think
I think I shall - oh yes, I shall
put you to words in books, et al
and share my scoundrel’s rationale
with those of impish-like morale
but pray you beg me love -
your coquette kiss, thereof …
(oh yes, I think I shall)
I think I will - oh yes, I will
make sure,

Yes I am a Hick from a Hick Town
Yes, I am a hick from a hick town
where people look out for each other.
a town where people chip in money
for baby showers, weddings, funerals or a kid who needs shoes
a hick town where everyone knows everybody else’s story
where we are not afraid to eat a stranger’s baked goods
or give a hitchhiker a ride
we still

I Say Yes but I Mean No
I say yes but I mean no
except I did say I would help, and I will
reluctantly, but the recipient does not have to know this
I want to appear loving and giving so I say yes
hoping my resentment and anger toward myself will not show
because I know better than to say yes when I need to

You’re not THAT good, yes it's true
Some use AI yes they do
But won’t admit that it’s true
I’ve seen AI much too much
It’s got that robotic touch
As long as other folk strive
We’ll keep REAL poems alive
It’s just too good to be you
You use AI yes you do
I read each line and I stare
As I am all too aware
It is just computer speak
The

Yes
When they say not everything is about race
I say yes it is
You may not have experienced it
But I did
Your privilege is showing
Your ego suffocating
Your ignorance provoking
Your stupidity frustrating
Don't insult my intelligence
Racism is still prevalent
It's foundation American
I don't care if my voice makes me a villain
I will always speak up

YES LOVE
Yes we did, we loved and loved with all our might.
We felt each other through all the pain, and lived in a space that only our hearts and minds can find.
We walked hand in hand, so happily, giving each other our love endlessly.
Yes, we went through it all and still we find

YES, YOU CAN!
Yes, you can!
You can be the change
the spark and the light
someone’s sun on dark days.
Sometimes, it doesn't take much
a smile
a nod
a simple thank you can lead the way.
So be that change.
Be the reason someone smiles
offer a hand when they stumble
a shoulder when they break.
Be the voice that speaks the truth
the first to rise
the one who

Just Say Yes
“JUST SAY YES!”
Evelyn Pearl Anderson
Imagine seeing the LORD God
seated high on His throne
and exalted with His garment
train filling the temple zone
Bright seraphs are seen flying above
with two wings while two more
wings cover the face and two more
cover the feet; they implored
“Holy, holy, holy is the
LORD Almighty; the whole earth
Is full of his glory”
As they
