DON'T CLAP BACK
DON'T CLAP BACK
wanna be like a tree
throw big shade
save the energy
remember who got you made
they tell secrets of old
you wanna lob stones
instead expose
your own buried bones
air your dirty laundry
bare your soul publicly
once you tell your secrets
won't be more to read
or to post socially
ignore what they say
take their power away
don't clap back
you're better than that

FEMPIRE
FEMPIRE
bud of
bitterness
from the
harvestless
just
saccharin
when pickins'
are slim
on my lips
a tang
of raw
sugar cane
in the tall
grasses
a reap of
molasses

substitute
for low hanging
fruit
life's a
candy store
have keys

but a garden box
sudden pause
oohs and awes
couldn't believe their eyes
what a beautiful sight
brows unfurled
picking buds for girls
bouquets taken home

ROCKET
ROCKET
split and
shattered
silencing
inner clatter
missing rung
on Jacob's ladder
soul grows
old
from lies
told
dragged up
in a ward
double edged
sword
no chance
to bloom
for creativity
no room
typhooning
through
like a
corkscrew
spun
around
spiralled
down
turning
weather
nothing lasts
forever
stories i
can tell
secrets hidden
well
colorful
life
craziness
