When she walks, she walks alone. Still she speaks.
Like Eve.
When she speaks, she speaks with authority.
Like the first mother. Still she speaks.
When she raves, she is the only one I hear.
She was wooed by the devil to tempt man and provoke the hand of the mighty.
Even when she was sent away. I could hear her voice still. I heard A woman daily, like a prayer.
First softly, and only by a few.
And then by a few more.
Soon, even her naysayers were singing her praises.
She was our first martyr.
The voices united and the prayers were answered.
Like Eve, she bit the hand that gave her speech and she was banned from the garden.
A woman has returned to the garden but the serpent has mated with her tongue.
Instead of being still, still she speaks!

Now that's a hell of a poem there.

I LIKE dat.

Don't mind if I print this out and tape it to my mirror?

It'll only be up a week or so til I find something else I wanna read for inspiration.

Never be quiet, Awoman. I only mean that even after the punishment, you came back strong.
The ban didn't put out your fire...I like that. I also like the fact that you are still Awoman. I don't agree with most of the craziness you spit, but I feel you spittin' it. Aaiight?

Lambd,

Well, I think your poems ARE all that and more! I enjoy reading them and I certainly wish that you would share more of your work here. You know you got skills!
But a true artist is never satisfied with her/his
work, I guess. They continually seek to improve upon the ability to craft the imagined into something tangible; and to seek the ever elusive masterpiece.
I wish you much success, whatever you choose to do with your poems.

Peace

Now y'all know y'all dun swole my whole head up in here! If Yukio liked it, then it must be alright. I'm bout to cry.

Please, the funniest thing in the world is to see a dark-skinned brother blush!
I've been on hiatus from instructing for the last couple months, so I've had plenty of time to ride my motorcycle in the hot sun. I'm feeling pretty darned Jamaica black right now.

Awoman>>>Actually, you are right. Right after I posted that poem I thought of ten different ways that I could've improved upon it. Now, everytime I read it I shudder because I now I could have done better...Still, it aint so bad.

Lambd,
I agree that you definitely have poetic (& comedic) talent. I hope you continue to post your works.

Though I can't help feeling a lil jealous. Because it seemed that, unlike yours, the poems that I posted seems to incite more ire than admiration.

Oh well. :-)

Dayyum! An actual complement from Abm! I had to read it three times to make sure there weren't any clever hidden jibes in there. I am definitely going to print your post, frame it, and set it on the mantle...immediately after I get a mantle.

Ohh, and Abm, the reason that your poetry tends to stir things up is because you write from the heart. You also have another thing going for you that I try to immitate. You refuse to bite your tongue. On that, I say 'Bravo!', Abm.

Lambd,
Take it easy, playah. I (think) have always been inclined to give credit where it is due. And I honestly find you to be a very clever/creative writer. You have a natural comedic sense that I find most admirable. And since I believe humor to be rest atop the apex of the human esthetic, as it is surely one of the most elusive artforms, I extend a earnest and hearty BRAVO.

I met someone today that I've known for a long time.
She spoke to me for the first time in her familiar voice.
She was loud but I couldn't hear her.
She wrote the most brilliant poem that didn't make any sense.
She repeated how she fell in love with me today.
I hated that I loved her, too.

Wow. Not only is Lambd clever, funny and aesthetic, he is now enigmatic.
