Real Talk Poetry - "Left Holding The Baby"

“You’re too young!”....



“You’ve got your life ahead of you!”....



.. ..



He wasn’t thinking ....



And neither were you....



You should’ve halted the passion....



Put a hand to his chest....



You should’ve said no way honey....



Not until you strap on a vest....



Protect me....



Respect me....



After all I’m a Queen!....



Who are you?....



Why choose me to… Continue

I Never Dreamed It Was You (Poem)

“I NEVER DREAMED IT WAS YOU”



When I saw your face in the crowd

I looked back in a double take

I stopped in surprise

I didn’t think it’d be you…

I never dreamed it was you…

Could be you…

Would ever be you… again…

I didn’t want to believe my eyes

It had been so long

I thought you were dead

My heart came into my mouth

My soul filled with dread

A flood of emotions returned instantly

Took me back the time we last met

I… Continue

Who Would Ever Love Me? (Poem)

From my forthcoming second book of poetry ... Cinnamon & Sin





“WHO WOULD EVER LOVE ME?”







Who would ever love me?



I think as I look at the door



Waiting for the post to drop



Wondering what wings its way towards my letter box



On this fourteenth day of the second month.



Apprehension fills me with dread



Of all the past encounters I’ve had



Spinning my heart in circles and rocking my… Continue

All About The Girl (Poem)

From my forthcoming second book... Cinnamon & Sin



“ALL ABOUT THE GIRL”







It was all about the girl you see



I wanted her so badly, so he had to go free.



But not free in the sense



As you understand in having your liberty



But for me it was knowing



He wasn’t around to trouble her



And I could do as I pleased.







As far as I was concerned she would always be my girl



I… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 30 FINALE

AWC DAY 30 - FINALE



It’s the end of the AWC month again

This year I’ve tussled and struggled

Coming up with ideas for my pen

Plotting the days ahead for you

So we can increase our literary flow

Helping you, me and our acuity to grow

With daily reading and writing

I hope new skills you’ve gained

I hope you’ve been challenged

I hope you’ve been entertained

Another thirty days

Now draws to a close

I know I’ll shed a… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 29

AWC DAY 29



I hope you have had a fabulous journey

And spent well has been your precious time

The penultimate day of the AWC

Finds us here today on Day Twenty-Nine

With news of swine flu hitting Spain, Mexico and the USA

Is something strange occurring around the world today?

How could this happen and what is the cause?

Has someone let loose a virus just because?

A worldwide panic could definitely ensue

With vaccines on offer… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 28

AWC Day 28



Let’s talk about why people dislike and hate

Here on the AWC Day Twenty-Eight

Why is it we are drawn to certain people and not others?

Do we pick individuals we see as sisters or brothers?

When you look at your friends, do they remind you of you?

Are they always the first you go to when you’re feeling blue?

What makes you drawn to a stranger in the crowd?

What things annoy you to make you cry out loud?

When someone does… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 27

AWC DAY 27



Stuck between a rock and a hard place

I had a lot to think about on Day Twenty-Seven

I wondered could I have done any more?

And with that decision would I still go to heaven?



I had a situation at work last week

I didn’t really know what to do

I had to think of my team

But also the company interests too.



When you manage other people

Always keep your staff interests key

You have to be business… Continue

AWC 09 - DAY 26

AWC Day 26


Free Verse Sunday on Day Twenty-Six
For it’s your day today
Do it your way
You can have your say
In the April Write
Let’s fly our kites
I won’t bite
Unless you want me to!
The month is almost through
Just four days remain
What ever comes to the fore of your mind
Use it to unwind and let loose
Just let the keys go
Don’t say no because
It’s time to showcase your flow.

AWC 09 - DAY 25

AWC Day 25



It’s Saturday and the weekend’s here

I’m so glad for two days

I don’t have a care in the world

With my feet curled

Under me

I can do what I want

I might sleep and dream in rhyme

Waking to write a masterpiece

That could fade the instant I open my eye

Or I could try to bake a cake

Or cook an exotic dish

Or I could wish

I wasn’t so tired

I could wish

For a sunny day to sit

Read a favorite… Continue
