National Poetry Month – Day 13

Theme: Say It With Your Whole Chest Some truths don’t need softening—they need to be said. Not filtered. Not watered down. Not adjusted for comfort. Today is about speaking plainly, standing on your words, and refusing to shrink your voice to make others comfortable. ⸻ Prompt 1 – Since We’re Being Honest… Write a poem about a truth you usually soften. The version you edit, dilute, or hold back to keep the peace. ⸻ Prompt 2 – I Said What I Meant, and I Meant What I Said Write a poem about standing firmly on something you said, believed, or decided. No backtracking. No overexplaining. Just ownership. ⸻ Prompt 3 – Try Jesus, Not Me Write a poem about a boundary you no longer negotiate. The line you’ve drawn and have no intention of moving.

National Poetry Month – Day 16

Theme: Dreams Not every dream is random. Some feel like warnings. Some feel like answers. Some feel like something or someone trying to reach you while you’re quiet enough to listen. Dreams can blur the line between memory, imagination, and something deeper. Today we explore what shows up when the world goes silent and the spirit starts speaking. ⸻ Prompt 1 – Was It Really A Dream? Write a poem about a dream that felt too real to ignore. Something that stayed with you after you woke up. Was it a warning, a message, or something you still can’t explain? ⸻ Prompt 2 – I Met Something There Write a poem about an encounter in a dream. This could be a person, a presence, a version of yourself, or something unexplainable. What did it leave you with? ⸻ Prompt 3 – Dreams Speak in Symbols Write a poem using dream-like imagery and symbolism instead of direct explanation. Let the meaning reveal itself through metaphor, not clarity.

National Poetry Month – Day 14

Theme: Paradox Some truths sound like contradictions. Opposites can exist in the same space, and what doesn’t make sense on paper can still be real in life. Strength can look like softness. Distance can exist inside love. Today we explore the tension between what seems impossible and what we know to be true. ⸻ Prompt 1 – Opposites Under One Roof Write a poem about opposing forces that exist in the same space. This could be emotions, personalities, beliefs, or different parts of yourself learning to coexist. ⸻ Prompt 2 – Winning Didn’t Feel Like Winning Write a poem about a moment where you got what you wanted, achieved something, or reached a goal but it didn’t feel the way you expected. Explore the disconnect between success and fulfillment. Use feeling words. ⸻ Prompt 3 – Made of Mixed Signals Write a poem about contradiction through behavior or communication. When words don’t match actions, or clarity gets lost in inconsistency.

Made Up Mixed Signals What Up Stranger Man how things have changed Back in the day I used to be on sites like Blackplanet and MySpace That's when online dating for me began I still have a few friends From way back then It wasn't called DM Just messaging back and forth Got a few phone numbers A few text and calls In the beginning everything was fine Even got a few um Unmentionable pictures So yea things were cool Communication was great Then one day silence And I'm not the kinda guy to ask why I simply just deleted the number and moved on I was taught long ago Not to beg, plead, or chase after any woman If she's interested She'll let it be known After all she's supposed to be grown If she not feeling you Go on about your way No time to play games It wasn't called ghosting back then Just disappearing Then days, weeks, months and sometimes years later A strange text From an unknown number Like what's up stranger Looking at my phone Like huh who dis Then they get kinda offended Like you don't remember me No not really refresh my memory Then tell me who To jog it a little bit Responding back with an attitude I'm like wait hold up You stopped texting and calling Stopped responding to my text and calls And my social media messages Sorry sweetheart I'm not that dude To linger around I figured you had another dude That you chose So I deleted your number out my phone She's like yeah whatever I'm sorry baby But you showed little to no interest I don't do mixed signals You should’ve made your intentions clear Then maybe I would've wanted you near But when I stopped hearing from you I'm like oh well and forgot about you I don't know what kind of guys you used to But them I'm not I'm not getting caught up in your cat and mouse game I'm not Tom and you not Jerry Or maybe you are And just like being a hoodrat Just like to make niggas Chase the cat I learned the game long ago I don't break, bend or fold For no hoe Like the saying goes When someone shows you who they are
