With Apologies To James Brown

Say it loud

I'm dyslexic

and I'm proud:

Every line

has a 

silver cloud

Redux: ROZ WARREN's Interminably Quotable Women's Lip

Men can read maps

better than women.

'Cause only the male mind

could conceive of

one inch equaling

a hundred miles.

I'm 33, single

Don't you think

it's a generalization

you should be 

married at 33?

 

That's like looking 

at somebody who's 70

and saying

"Hey, when you gonna

break your hip

all your friends are

breaking their hips—

what are you waiting for?"

Hooda Helami Poem About Poetry

________________________________________________________________________________________________

A poem is a thing

where rhyming words

ring

and you hear

 silence sing

with every-

thing

 

A poem is a thing

where words 

waltz

and nothing is

false

until your heart

halts

 

A poem is a thing

with flowery 

words

that sound like

birds

chirping in time

be it fourths

or thirds
