GOT POETRY?

Poe-Ahh-Tree
Who Am I? Just a woman falling madly, deeply, truly in love with life. A poet/writer having a wild affair with words. A person whose mission is to live from a place of joy, embracing all that's beautifully human about myself, and moving deeper into the EVOLUTION & the REVOLUTION of me. Still curious?

pretty poetry
i am just
pretty poetry to him….
someone from whom he can cop a feel
pretty poetry to him….
someone from whom he can cop a feel
in a crowded elevator
casually flipping up the back of my skirt
flirting with the heat between my thighs
while others keep their eyes forward looking
he slowly teases me with hot words, naked emotion
daring me to come closer, to look into his eyes
whispering in my ear that i could be the one
all the while preparing to switch the language of his prose

“Got Poetry?”
I do! Welcome to National Poetry Month! I hope that you take some time this month to enjoy some poetry…it does the spirit good. (Yeah, I paraphrased somebody else’s slogan. Poetic license and all that jazz.) Grab some Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes, Amiri Baraka, Pablo Neruda, Sonia Sanchez…or better yet, “Love Lingers” by one of my dearest friends Linda Dominique Grosvenor (www.lindadominiquegrosvenor.com) , or “You Beckon” - a breathtaking collection from my friend Peggy Eldridge Love (www.peggyeldridgelove.com) , or…”Songs in Search of a Voice” by the Prince of Poetry - Marcus Harris (www.marcusharris.net). I’m leaving some folks out I know - please charge it to my head and not my heart. It’s an overcast day here in VA and I’m feeling a bit that way myself (family drama *sigh*). Send prayers….and cyberhugs. And um, keep’em coming. Oh snap, almost forgot - add “Love’s Reparations” to that list of poetry collections. Purchase info can be found on my website www.jackieyoungwrites.com. Know of any other poets/poetry collections? Let a sista know.
Live Deliciously!

Umm, sis…com’ere, lemme hollatchu.
*whispering* I don’t know WHO is motivating you to write all of these heated poems but tell him I said, take it easy on you ok. LMAO!!
As you know, I own Love’s Reparations but I haven’t had a chance to sit down and read it from cover to cover. Ya know, I think that’s what I’ll do this month in honor of National Poetry Month.
BTW, another HOT HOT HOT poetry collection is “The 3P Remix” (Passion, Pride & Politickin’) by the fabulous Supa Sister. He work is FIYA!

SM - “he” doesn’t know either. LOL All the motivation I need is to simply wake up. :O) I’ll have to check out The 3P Remix.
Shai - I’m considering a poem/day on my blog in honor of National Poetry Month. We’ll see.
UKD - once you’ve made it all the way through, let me know what your favorite(s) are. Sending lots of hugs your way!
