Let’s Get Back To What’s Important
To share small joys throughout the day
Who and what is top priority pays
Friendship should develop into mental , spiritual , physical and emotional support
You should strive toward your best life while appreciating all that it’s worth
The sun and moon are individuals yet both are part of Universal order
An abiding of two who are one shall remain unbothered
Before the chaos of makind was trumped up and altered
Soft communication well received beats anything that hollars
Let’s Get Back To What Matters
Be a part of recreation where harmony is scattered
Pay attention to what’s healthy as you make it a habit
Never become anything that leaves you feeling substandard
Reconition of what’s in your fabric comes next
When you’re at your best you’ll get what you deserve and that’s the best
What’s put together on solid foundation will never be allowed to split
Drills come here and there thru any and all abstinence
Alignment forms when you’re mindful mixed with passionate
Everything we touch requires maintanance
Your goal list will be a look of satisfaction
Basic needs are important factors , they are yours to keep
Strength comes from what you eat , think and hear in your sleep
What’s complete has a well balance sheet
This is more than the chit chatter
They hear the voice of reason and good sense
Nonchalant while humble in pure relevance
Matched is a love that loves like you do
Handle each other well rather its zero or 100 proof
Let’s Get Back To What Matters
Experts in both realms should be on your advice pannel
Starseeds are anchored in frequency
Yeahh that’s what Matters and how it should be

“Namastè & One Love“❤️💛💚
Friends of Mother Earth / The Earth is Our Friend
The earth is the garden of creation
Purposefully clothed, with lush, green vegetation.
Roots!
Firm enough to prevent critical soil erosion,
All elements working in union,
for natural joy and satisfaction.
The earth is our friend, we are the children of the earth.
The cyclic function of the earth’s ecology is no mystery,
Like the organs of the human body,
Each working in perfect harmony,
In this our environmental community,
of which the guardians and keepers
are the children of humanity.
The earth is our friend, we are the children of the earth.
The rivers, like blood streams flowing into the oceans,
Returning secretly to the fleshy bowels of earth’s creation,
Evaporating to the atmospheric breath of life,
Sun, moon and stars,
Solid, liquid and gas,
Land, sea and air,
Flesh, blood and spirit.
The earth is our friend, we are the children of the earth.
Like the lungs of man,
The trees breathe to keep the earth alive.
Yeah! The Sun, like a devoted Father
Working from sunrise until sunset
And the Moon, like a loving Mother,
Working from dusk until dawn,
Shining within the sweet embrace, of her children, the stars
The earth is our friend, we are the children of the earth.
If we protect the earth,
Then, the earth will protect us,
Clothe, feed and shelter us.
The earth is the garden of creation.
If we keep the earth alive,
Then we will stay alive,
The earth will keep us alive.
The earth is our mother and our friend!
We are the children and the friends of the earth, of the earth, of Mother Earth

“Personally, I’m more of a “Freestyle” Poet(ess). But from time to time, I follow the norm, and try my hand at various Poetry Writing Styles. It’s always a learning & fun experience!”~Maxwanette A Poetess
🤩There Are All Types Of Poems🤩
Poetry Forms – Definitions and Examples
Sonnet – a short rhyming poem with 14 lines. The original sonnet form was invented in the 13/14th century by Dante and an Italian philosopher named Francisco Petrarch. The form remained largely unknown until it was found and developed by writers such as Shakespeare. Sonnets use iambic meter in each line and use line-ending rhymes.
FOR MORE ABOUT SONNETS, READ HOW TO WRITE A SONNET
By William Shakespeare
Limerick – a five-line witty poem with a distinctive rhythm. The first, second and fifth lines, the longer lines, rhyme. The third and fourth shorter lines rhyme. (A-A-B-B-A).
FOR MORE ABOUT LIMERICKS, READ HOW TO WRITE A LIMERICK ON THE FFP POETRY FORUMS
Haiku – This ancient form of poem writing is renowned for its small size as well as the precise punctuation and syllables needed on its three lines. It is of ancient Asian origin.
Haiku’s are composed of 3 lines, each a phrase. The first line typically has 5 syllables, second line has 7 and the 3rd and last line repeats another 5. In addition there is a seasonal reference included.
FOR MORE ABOUT HAIKU, READ HOW TO WRITE A HAIKU
Narrative – A narrative poem tells the story of an event in the form of a poem. There is a strong sense of narration, characters, and plot. It may be dramatic, with objectives and diverse characters. Narrative poetry may be short or long, and the story it relates to may be simple or complex.
SEE ABOUT NARRATIVE POEMS AND EXAMPLES OF NARRATIVE POEMS
Epic – a lengthy narrative poem in grand language celebrating the adventures and accomplishments of a legendary or conventional hero
Couplet – two lines of verse which rhyme and form a unit alone or as part of a poem.
SEE STANZAS – COUPLET, TERCET AND QUATRAIN
Free Verse – A Free Verse Poem does not follow any rules. Their creation is completely in the hands of the author. Rhyming, syllable count, punctuation, number of lines, number of stanzas, and line formation can be done however the author wants in order to convey the idea. There is no right or wrong way to create a Free Verse poem.
Acrostic – An acrostic poem is a poem where the one letter in each line spells out a word or phrase vertically that acts as the theme or message of the poem. The word used for the acrostic can be the name of the person you are writing the acrostic about, a message such as Happy Birthday or a theme such as Acceptance, Love or Hope.

“I don’t know if this would be considered a poem or just more rambling thoughts.” ~ Robert Kearl
“Where, Oh Where?”
Where, Oh where, has my life gone? Up to this point, it’s always been a journey from 1 point to another
Living from one dream to another
But I can’t wait to see what tomorrow may bring me today
It just might be a random thought; would I be wrong to wish?
I could fix my heart and mind this time or is this the last time
I’m trying to make things right or is this just wishful thinking
I wish I was right this time, but I fear I’m wrong
I’ve nearly lost my mind living in the past but for this moment in time
I’ve started looking for peace without you here beside me this will be the last time I look to the sky
to try to find my place in the heavens above
I just want you to know within myself,
I’m trying to just let go one last time, but I can’t seem to find, the courage to let my heart lead me along this path in life
Where, Oh where, have I gone wrong, in thinking heaven was only a hop skip and jump away from me?
Sometimes it’s as if you’re still here beside me?
I can hear your still soft voice, whispering in my ear, but when I open my eyes your nowhere to be found
Where, Oh where, have all these angels gone?
All to soon they’ve all flown to heaven…
one last time

For Your Trust, I Thank You
(for John Jackson)
Watching you walk down Leland Avenue
cigarette in one hand, umbrella in the other
sporting brown-everything clothes
looking like a man who had just come through
your account of the events that put you here echoed
in my head
John, the pain you feel is yours/mine/ours
we menfolk wear it draped over our shoulders like kente cloth
I say walk on!
move purposefully through the redundancy
of hard heads and fools
brothers whose eyes have become tinfoil
whose hearts are cold and unfeeling
from chasing delusions of patriarchal grandeur
no self-respecting, self-loving male person behaves in this way
what bastardization of one’s humanity!
what reduction of one’s Creator-given potential!
what needless pain they bear!
what unnecessary dues they pay!
Your time here may not be long, as you say
nevertheless, go back into the arena of life
not stuck on stupid as before
but renewed in faith that right outweighs wrong
anyplace, anytime, any whatever
go back while the blood yet runs warm in your veins
with a vision of the new world coming
wherein everyone will have time and love for everyone
regardless of his group, color, creed, sexuality
even the hard heads and the fools
diminished brothers whose square expressivity
is not the gold standard of who you/me/us/they be
commit to the righteous struggle of wholeness
that the inner peace enables you to redeem yourself
in the eyes of she who carried you to term
commit to the righteous struggle of wholeness
that it enlarges the circle of brothers who seek deliverance
from the yoke of domination and subordination
finally, take up the struggle because doing so, I do believe
will increase the betterment of humankind
and our only Mother Earth
Yes, John, go back into the arena this time
as a 360-degree male person human being
reconciled and in harmony with your blended essence
believing with everything you feel in yourself
that we menfolk all over these United States
will someday accept the rejected truth of ourselves
then board gondolas of mutual respect
and float down the river Mississippi in complete unanimity
to that melodious harbor of democratic fellowship

South Rim
By La-Faithia White
It was cold and damp
when we reached the peak –
Isis, buddah, jupiter, and cedar mountain,
surrounding colorful views
of the temples all in reach.
Startled and meek, mesmerized by
your beauty, tears rolling down
my cheeks, unable to speak.
I stare and breathe, springtime
in April, this time next
year the cycle of nature will
repeat, winding roads, no streets,
cliff retreats, immense landscapes,
and glass plank bridges, a
spectacular vision only God
can create such an amazing composition as
The Grand Canyon.
