Sin was presented to taste
sweeter than the honey comb
and the bitterness goes down smooth
with a shot of jack
they say the bitter wears away after awhile
none ever experience that
it's the sweetest smelling cologne in the place

Yesterdays poetry had sugar plums
dancing over a young one's head
Yesterday's poem spoke joy into us
Whenever we felt dread
We knew Jack and Jill went up a hill
we learned what happens we he fell down
We knew Mr. brown could moo and so can... – by LaKeyah Garnett-Holden | 53 Views added 11 months ago

Ignorance guided my way in life
Dancing with the devil in my Sunday's best
"It's good to do this" they said "your forgiven" they say
Meanwhile my feet hurt and soul unrest
Watered down scriptures spewed at me

Fantasy land told me I was big
When the world told me I was small
Fantasy land was my escape
When I couldn't face the world at all
I can be a mermaid there
Or maybe just just maybe a toy
I can be a pet cat meow
Or a rooting tooting cowboy

The secrets of the universe whisper
In the ear of anyone who’ll listen
Will it be you will it be me
They dance in the message
Losing their self and their belongings
But did they hear the message
Did you hear it
It throws tantrums and roof tops... – by LaKeyah Garnett-Holden | 4 Views added 2 years ago

Black sheep Black sheep
Are you coming to dinner
No sir I'm not coming
To be judged as the family sinner

We really wanna see you
Why now do you want me there
I'm not coming... – by LaKeyah Garnett-Holden | 9 Views added 2 years ago

A smell took me to yester year
I got lost in a sweet embrace
I began swaying around my room
Trying to remember that place
Was it a trip to an old friend
Where we talked all night
Was it catching fireflies
Being mesmerized by the lights
Was it a... – by LaKeyah Garnett-Holden | 5 Views added 2 years ago

I remember a joy
That flowed in the air
As if hidden to long and
Emerging on a dare
The world embraced it
With a smile on it's face
As if greeting and old friend
That's long been erased
It was like a Pixar cartoon
Or ride through the country... – by LaKeyah Garnett-Holden | 4 Views added 2 years ago

My best Friend was taken by bears
They took her back to their cave
They made her do unspeakable things
Then sold her as a slave
MY best from was taken by a bird
And made to feed her young
She worked away in a nest all day
Until the job was... – by LaKeyah Garnett-Holden | 4 Views added 2 years ago

Put your hands not on me
Because I don’t move how you do
Take you slanderous tongue off me
While I take on my own cue
I know not the imperfections you speak
I have no time to engage in you plight
You see your words would just weigh me down
While my... – by LaKeyah Garnett | 6 Views added 2 years ago

A bird flew in my window
And he looked scared of me
I don’t know how he got in
But he wanted to be free
It wasn’t the first time he came in
Nor wasn’t the first time he looked scared
As he suspended in a coroner
Gracefully fearful in the... – by LaKeyah Garnett | 9 Views added 2 years ago
