1 Minute with The Bald-Headed Poet
An Epicurean's dream: Feast your eyes on this! A poetry show that never existed, bringing you motivation and inspiration in minutes; this isn’t your average poetry experience! Meaty phrases, gritty sayings, impactful poems, insightful rhymes, meaningful paeans and provocative pieces that sound like rap lyrics. Lines that are worth gold: “Poetry is good for the soul,” plus stay tuned to hear a scripture verse. Coming to you every Friday to share a quick speech, don’t skip a beat, please spend one minute with me. Lend me your ear gate, and I promise to make you feel great, or else you can leave the scene. Grace and peace. xoxo

Choices by Nikki Giovanni
If i can't do what i want to do
then my job is to not do what i don't want to do
It's not the same thing
but it's the best i can do
If i can't have what i want... then
my job is to want what i've got
and be satisfied that at least there
is something more to want
Since i can't go where i need to go...
then i must... go where the signs point
though always understanding parallel movement isn't lateral
When i can't express what i really feel
i practice feeling what i can express
and none of it is equal I know
but that's why mankind alone among the animals
learns to cry
Poems are green and Poetry is mean.
-Poetry Beast
Please accept my endless gratitude,
I'm tickled pink,
You're a gift!
Thank you for your time and attention.
It's a blessing you've stopped to observe and listen.
