Poems 8-11 (30/30 Challenge)
8/30:
Peace is sitting poolside
dressed in Rio de Janeiro sarongs
and sunshine;
sipping espresso
and morning dew
and feeling beautiful!
9/30:
"Team Grits: A Haiku"
I will eat them sweet.
I will eat them savory.
Both is fine by me.
10/30:
"Gratitude Looks Like"
Gratitude looks like:
the sun gently kissing my cheek in morning greeting,
the rise and fall of my chest,
four walls of love
nobly decorating my creative sanctuary;
like Trifecta family smiles,
my bouquet of beautiful friends
his brilliant grin;
like tear stained journals,
altar candles,
and sage cleansed crystals;
like still waters,
and sand caressing toes;
like bare feet
and full bellies;
like God!
Gratitude looks like the God in me,
reflected in the world I see.

"My Waist Beads"
Sometimes they only whisper
And sometimes they scream:
"PUT ME ON!
Let the world marvel at me,"
they clamor.
“Let me be adored
while I adorn you.
Let me dress your temple,
decorate your curves
and compliment your jiggle.
Let me dance along your skin
while my beaded melodies
sing notice of your presence.
Let me celebrate you.
Ornament your form
and caress your shapeliness.
Let me glisten and glimmer in your limelight
while we both beam
from the world’s admiration
Let me experience the simplicity of pleasure
through your movements,
be your thematic jingle
serenading your every motion
Let me accompany you as you move through life on your own epic self love journey,
Let me learn your soul’s style
and the special ways you learn to step more fully inside yourself -
Put
Me
On!”
They say with love,
“And let’s accentuate the you
I so long to adorn.”
